Phase Transition and Micellization of Temperature Responsive Dextran—graft—poly（N—isopropylacrylamide）Polymers

Phase behavior and micellization of dextran-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm)polymers in aqueous solution are investigated in this paper using DSC and AFM methods.It is found that with the increase of grafting(G%) of the copolymers the endothermic enthalpy during the phase transition increases significantly and the transition temperature decreases slightly.The phase transition behavior of the copolymers is scanning rate dependent.Micelles are formed whenever the solution temperature is raised above the LCST of the copolymers.It is proposed that by using this thermal responsive property of the copolymers,drugs could be incorporated into the micelles without employing any organic solvent.     

Synthesis of polystyrene-based cationic copolymers and their colloidal properties in water

A series of polystyrene-based cationic copolymers was synthesized by two different methods: (1) solution copolymerization of styrene and vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride (VBTMAC) in ethanol, and (2) surfactant-free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and vinylbenzyl chloride in water followed by reaction with trimethylamine. The results indicated that the different synthesis methods would result in different polymer structures and, therefore, affect the solubility and colloidal properties of the copolymers in water. For the copolymers prepared by method 2, partial crosslinking was observed. The copolymers made by this method are almost water-insoluble. In contrast, the copolymers made from direct copolymerization of styrene and VBTMAC in ethanol are water-soluble or dispersible, but the solubility and the particle size of microaggregates formed by these copolymers in water strongly depend on charge density and temperature. One of the important results from this study is that uniform colloidal particles with a very small particle size (30–50 nm) can be obtained by dispersing polystyrene-based cationic copolymers in water without adding any surfactants.

Copolymers: efficient carriers for intelligent nanoparticulate drug targeting and gene therapy

Copolymers are among the most promising substances used in the preparation of drug/gene delivery systems. Different categories of copolymers, including block copolymers, graft copolymers, star copolymers and crosslinked copolymers, are of interest in drug delivery. A variety of nanostructures, including polymeric micelles, polymersomes and hydrogels, have been prepared from copolymers and tested successfully for their drug delivery potential. The most recent area of interest in this field is smart nanostructures, which benefit from the stimuli-responsive properties of copolymeric moieties to achieve novel targeted drug delivery systems. Different copolymer applications in drug/gene delivery using nanotechnology-based approaches with particular emphasis on smart nanoparticles are reviewed.

Solvent-regulated ordering in block copolymers

Studies of the structural polymorphism exhibited by block copolymers in the presence of selective solvents are relatively recent, but very promising in terms of fundamental understanding and practical applications. Highlighting recent advances, this review progresses from `dry' ordered copolymers to solvated ordered (gel-like) copolymers and lastly to solvated disordered (but locally organized) copolymers. Organic- and aqueous-solvent-based systems are concurrently examined to cross-fertilize polymer and colloid science.     

Block copolymers in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Two new approaches: Copolymer aggregates as reductants and stabilizers and simultaneous formation of copolymer aggregates and gold nanoparticles

In this article, innovative applications of amphiphilic triblock and pentablock copolymers in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles are reported. The synthesis of gold nanoparticles is performed using two methods. In the first method, micellar aggregates of block copolymers and AuCl₄^? ions directly react in water; the nanoparticles obtained by this method are variable in size and are associated with copolymer aggregates. In the second method, two processes take place simultaneously: the aggregation of block copolymers and the reduction of Au (III) by the copolymers to form nanoparticles. In contrast with the first method, in this case, the nanoparticles obtained are located inside the copolymer aggregates. In both methods of synthesis, the block copolymers act simultaneously as reducing and stabilizing agents. To understand the role of copolymer aggregates in the synthesis of nanoparticles, molecular simulation methods are used. The gold nanoparticles, copolymer aggregates, and nanocomposite systems are characterized using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Characterization of propylene-ethylene block copolymers using solid state 13C-NMR spectroscopy

Commercial block copolymers of propylene with ethylene (PEBC) are multiphase systems comprising block and random copolymers as well as small amounts of homopolymers. At present, no satisfactory method exists for characterizing the “blocky” structure of these copolymers. This article aims to fulfill this need. Accordingly, the block and random copolymers of propylene with ethylene have been investigated using ¹³C CP/MAS NMR with high-power dipolar decoupling. Comparisons have been made between the spectra of block and random copolymers and it is shown possible to distinguish between them by means of an additional signal, appearing at 32.5δ, in block copolymers (attributable to block junctions). © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Photosensitive cholesteric copolymers with spiropyran-containing side groups II. Kinetic features of the photo- and thermo-chromic processes

Kinetic features of the photo- and thermo-chromic behaviour of new cholesteric triple copolymers with photosensitive spiropyran-containing side groups are considered. The kinetics of the back thermal process at different temperatures have been studied; activation energies for this process for the copolymers with different contents of the dye units have been obtained. The photochromic homopolymer and copolymers with a low content of dye units are shown to possess maximum values of the activation energy.
