Densities and sound velocities in dilute aqueous solutions ofN-acetyl-DL-serinamide andN-acetyl-L-threoninamide were measured at 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45°C. Partial molar volumes and partial molar adiabatic compressibilities
of these amino acid derivatives at infinite dilution were determined. The partial molar quantities for the parent amino acids,
serine and threonine, were also determined and compared with the acetyl amide derivatives. The contribution of the side chain
of theN-acetyl amino acid amide or amino acid to the partial molar quantities were estimated from the difference between the partial
molar quantities for the solute studied and those for the corresponding species,N-acetyl-glycinamide or glycine, without the side chain. 相似文献
Six copolymers were obtained by the reaction of a sterically hindered N-oxyl biradical with pseudodiradical p-xylylene using the reactivity of an N-oxyl toward the carbon radical. The feed ratio of the N-oxyl biradical to α-chloro-p-xylene, which was used as the precursor of the pseudodiradical p-xylylene, governed the properties of the copolymers produced. The copolymers with a terminalN-oxyl group, were obtained when a 0.4-1.2 molar ratio of the N-oxyl biradical to α-chloro-p-xylene. The polymerization process was also discussed. 相似文献
Chemoselective terpolymerization can produce polymer materials with diverse compositions and sequential structures, and thus have attracted considerable attention in the field of polymer synthesis. However, the intrinsic complexity of three-component system also brings great chanllenge, in regard to the reactivity and selectivity of different monomers. Herein, we report the terpolymerization of CO2/epoxide/anhydride by a binary organocatalytic C3N3-Py-P3/TEB (triethylborane) system. Both the activity and chemoselectivity were highly dependent upon the molar ratio of C3N3-Py-P3 to TEB, and sequence-controlled poly(ester-carbonate) copolymers were readily synthesized through one-pot/one-step methodology by tuning the stoichiometric ratio of phosphazene/TEB. In particular, C3N3-Py-P3/TEB with a molar ratio of 1/0.5 exhibited an unprecedentedly high chemoselectivity for ring-opening alternating copolymerization (ROAC) of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and phthalic anhydride (PA) first and then ROAC of CO2/CHO. Thus, well-defined triblock polycarbonate-b-polyester-b-polycarbonate copolymers can be produced from the mixture of CO2, CHO and PA using a bifunctional initiator. With C3N3-Py-P3/TEB=1/1, tapered copolymers were obtained, while random copolymers with high content of polycarbonate (PC) were synthesized with further increasing the amount of TEB. The mechanism of the unexpected chemoselectivity was further investigated by DFT calculations. 相似文献
Multiresponsive polymers that can respond to several external stimuli are promising materials for a manifold of applications. Herein, a facile method for the synthesis of triple-responsive (pH, temperature, CO2) poly(N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylamide) by a post-polymerization amidation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is presented. Combined with trivalent counterions ([Fe(CN)6]3−) both an upper and lower critical solution temperature (UCST/LCST)-type phase behavior can be realized at pH 8 and 9. PMMA and PMMA-based block copolymers are readily accessible by living anionic and controlled radical polymerization techniques, which opens access to various responsive polymer architectures based on the developed functionalization method. This method can also be applied on melt-processed bulk PMMA samples to introduce functional, responsive moieties at the PMMA surface. 相似文献
Theoretical studies of intrinsic absorption phenomena in organic compounds in a range of wavelengths from visible to near-infrared (NIR), led us to synthesize acrylic monomers with variable molar number of CH per cubic centimeter, NCH. Thus, halogenoalkyl or aryl α-chloroacrylates, α-fluoroacrylates, and methacrylates are prepared. The corresponding homo- and copolymers exhibit good thermal (Tg from 120 to 160°C) and optical properties. 相似文献
The utility of pentafluorophenyl esters for the selective introduction of functional units and branch points in well-defined poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) derivatives is demonstrated using a combination of controlled radical polymerization and postpolymerization modification. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer enables the synthesis of well-defined copolymers—poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate-co-tert-butyl acrylate)—with the active ester repeat units serving as attachment points for reaction with primary amines, specifically tris(2-(t-butoxycarbonyl)ethyl)methyl amine (Behera's amine). Deprotection using trifluoroacetic acid removes both the backbone and side chain t-butyl esters to give a series of branched PAA derivatives containing novel tricarboxylic acid side chains that are well suited to complexation and multidentate interactions. Surprisingly, the active ester homopolymer is shown to have the highest reactivity with Behera's amine when compared to copolymers with lower incorporation of pentafluorophenyl esters, suggesting an intriguing interplay of neighboring group effects and steric interactions. The ability to tune the efficiency of postpolymerization modification gives a library of PAA derivatives. 相似文献
Two poly(amino acid) systems were studied: (a) poly[N5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-glutamine] (PHEG) derivatives prepared by NCA polymerization; (b) poly-α,β-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide] (PHEA) derivatives prepared by thermal polycondensation of aspartic acid to racemic polysuccinimide followed by chemical modification reactions. The degradation of polymers by isolated enzymes and homogenate of kidney tissue was studied in vitro and the effect of polymer structure on the rate of degradation and the size of degradation products was evaluated. A PHEA derivative (modified by tyramine residues in 9.6 % of side chains) was accumulated in the lysosomes of kidney cells of rats and the molecular-weight distribution of the polymer retained inside the lysosomes of living cells and that of the polymer excreted into urine was analysed by a high-sensitivity size-exclusion chromatography using the fluorescence and radioactive labelling. While PHEG derivatives were degraded by isolated mammalian enzymes and a tissue homogenate, no significant degradation of PHEA and derivatives was observed, either in vitro, with isolated enzymes and homogenate or in vivo, under a long-term exposure to the lysosomal enzymes in living cells. 相似文献
The interactions between copolymers of sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), anionic polyelectrolytes, and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), a cationic surfactant, were studied in aqueous solutions of various ionic strengths. The copolymers were found to be thermoresponsive, showing a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The influence of the polymer composition, the surfactant concentration, and the ionic strength on the LCST was studied. The surfactant was found to interact strongly with the polymer, forming mixed polymer-surfactant micelles. The critical aggregation concentration (cac) of the polymer-surfactant system was found from fluorescence spectroscopy using pyrene as a fluorescent probe. A strong dependence of the anionic polyelectrolyte-cationic surfactant interactions on the structure of the ionic comonomer was observed. 相似文献
N-isopropylacrylamide and N-acryloxysuccinimide have been copolymerized in various mixtures of terrahydrofuran and toluene using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. Polymerization has been conducted for 24 h at 50°C under a slightly positive pressure of nitrogen. The copolymers were assayed for active ester content by measuring the UV absorbance (259 nm) of N-hydroxysuccinimide anion, generated by reacting the copolymers with N-isopropylamine in dimethylformamide and dissolving the resulting mixture in 0.1M HEPES buffer, pH 7.5. The molecular weight and its distribution have been estimated by gel permeation chromatography. The active ester content was found to be equivalent to the comonomer feed ratio, and the major factor controlling the molecular weight was the ratio of tetrahydrofuran to toluene. Thus, the number of active esters per polymer chain could be controlled by adjustment of the comonomer feed ratio and the ratio of tetrahydrofuran to toluene. Monomer reactivity ratios for copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide with N-acryloxysuccinimide were also estimated. These copolymers are useful for immobilizing binding ligands such as antibodies for subsequent thermally induced precipitation immunoassays and bioseparation processes. 相似文献
Summary: A novel thermosensitive amphiphilic copolymer of PNIPAm grafted polyphosphazene (PNIPAm‐g‐PPP) has been synthesized through a co‐substitution reaction of poly(dichlorophosphazene) with amino terminated NIPAm oligomer and glycine ethyl ester (GlyEt). The polymer obtained had a molar ratio of 1:5.25 PNIPAm to GlyEt and had a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) near 30 °C. The formation of polymeric micelles was confirmed by fluorescence, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy measurements.
