Hetero-Multifunctional Poly(ethylene glycol) Copolymers with Multiple Hydroxyl Groups and a Single Terminal Functionality

2009

Hetero-multifunctional poly(ethylene glycol-co-glycerol) random copolymers with multiple hydroxyl functionalities and a single terminal functionality have been prepared by copolymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) and ethoxy ethyl glycidyl ether (EEGE) with the use of a suitable initiator, introducing a protected amino group or a double bond, respectively. Acidic deprotection was used for removal of the acetal protecting groups in the chain, and the terminal amino group was regenerated by catalytic hydrogenation. A series of copolymers with narrow polydispersity was obtained, varying comonomer fractions from 3 to 67% and molecular weights in the range of 5 000-32 000 g · mol(-1) (1.05 < $\ove…

Synthesis of Heterotelechelic α,ω Dye-Functionalized Polymer by the RAFT Process and Energy Transfer between the End Groups

2009

The synthesis of a vinyl polymer with two different fluorescent dye end groups using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is described. Use of a pentafluorophenyl (PFP) activated ester chain transfer agent (CTA) provided a polymer with an R end group that was reactive toward amines and a dithioester ω end group. The R PFP ester was amidated with Oregon Green Cadaverin. This did not harm the ω dithioester, which was subsequently aminolyzed with an excess of n-propylamine in the presence of Texas Red-2-sulfonamidoethyl methanethiosulfonate, resulting in a disulfide bond connecting the second dye to the polymer chain. Excess dyes and side products were removed…

Polymerisation von äthylenoxid mit dem kaliumalkoholat von 4-benzolazo-benzylalkohol. I. Der anionische polymerisationsmechanismus

1966

Athylenoxid last sich mit dem Kaliumalkoholat von 4-Benzolazo-benzylalkohol polymerisieren. Dabei erhalten die Polyathylenoxide eine zusatzliche UV-Absorption, die auf covalent eingebaute C6H5NNC6H4(p) CH2O-Gruppen zuruckzufuhren ist. Wenn der ubliche Mechanismus der anionischen Polymerisation gilt, sollte jedes Polyathylenoxidmolekul eine besonders absorbierende Endgruppe enthalten. Fraktioniert man die mit dem Alkoholat hergestellten Polyathylenoxide, so ist die Extinktion bei gleicher Polymerkonzentration nicht wie erwartet um so groser, je kleiner das Molekulargewicht ist. Bestimmt man ferner quantitativ den Gehalt an C6H5NNC6H4(p) CH2O-Gruppen in Polyathylenoxidfraktionen und nimmt ein…

Telechelic α,ω-macrozwitterions — narrowly distributed polystyrene chains oppositely charged at each end — were synthesized via anionic polymerization using direct functionalization with the initiator and the termination agent. The resulting products were purified (zwitterion content ≥ 0,95) and characterized with gel permeation chromatography, viscometry, static and dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering. In unpolar solvents as toluene, the polymeric zwitterions form clusters with molecular weights depending on concentration. In the dilute case, the clusters are relatively small and consist of approximately 8 zwitterions. The structure of these clusters is discussed by…

By endcapping of living polystyrene with ethylene oxide and subsequent reaction with bromoacetyl bromide a polymer with a bromoacetoxy endgroup was obtained. This was used as a macroinitiator for the living cationic polymerization of 1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]octane. The structure and composition of the so formed two-block copolymer was elucidated by different methods. The ratio of the two block and their lengths were varied within broad limits.

Über makrozwitterionen, 10. Versuche zur darstellung von makrozwitterionen aus α,ω-bifunktionellem poly(α-methylstyrol)

1975

Verschiedene Moglichkeiten zur Darstellung von Makrozwitterionen ohne polare Gruppen in der Polymerkette werden diskutiert. Unter Verwendung von 3-Dimethylaminopropyllithium als Initiator und Propansulton (2) als Kettenabbruchreagenz wurden α,ω-bifunktionelle Poly(α-methylstyrol)e 4 mit einer tert. Amino- und einer Lithiumsulfonat-Endgruppe (Molekulargewichtsbereich ≈ 103; Bifunktionalitat >90%) dargestellt. Die beiden Endgruppen wurden wie bei den entsprechenden monofunktionellen Polymeren analytisch (N,S) und spektroskopisch (IR und NMR) nachgewiesen. Obwohl die beiden Endgruppen der bifunktionellen Polymeren jeweils unabhangig in die freie Sulfonsaure-Gruppe bzw. in die Trimethylammonium…

Synthesis of Macromolecular Substances by Condensation Polymerization and Stepwise Addition Polymerization

2001

Condensation polymerizations (polycondensations) are stepwise reactions between bifunctional or polyfunctional components, with elimination of simple molecules such as water or alcohol and the formation of macromolecular substances. For the preparation of linear condensation polymers from bifunctional compounds (the same considerations apply to polyfunctional compounds which then lead to branched or crosslinked condensation polymers) there are basically two possibilities. One either starts from a monomer which has two unlike groups suitable for polycondensation (AB type), or one starts from two different monomers, each possessing a pair of identical reactive groups that can react with each …

IR-und UV-spektroskopische Eigenschaften einer homologen Reihe von molekulareinheitlichen, 12gliedrige Ringe enthaltenden Leiteroligomeren

1984

The reactions of multiple acrylates of oligo[(hydroxyphenylene)methylene] s (2a–2f), strongly diluted in boiling benzene, with 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile in a mole ratio of 1:10, were investigated. The elemental analysis and the determination of relative molar masses of the resulting products (3, 4, 5, 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b) demonstrate that their molecules contain two nitrile groups. These data, together with the IR and UV spectra, show that the products are molecularly uniform ladder oligomers with two 1-cyano-1-methylethyl groups on both ends.

A macromonomer was prepared from succinimido methacrylate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPA) with an amino end group. The macronomer (MA-PIPA) obtained shows a temperature-responsive transition phenomenon from coil to globule in water at about 36°C. For the copolymer of MA-PIPA with acrylamide (ratio of monomer residues of N-isopropylacrylamide (IPA) and acrylamide (AAm) 10:3), the transition temperature of the PIPA chain was the same as that of the macromonomer, whereas the transition temperature of a linear copolymer of IPA and AAm (ratio of the monomer residues 10:3) was much higher than that of PIPA (52°C). Microspheres were prepared by emulsion polymerization of the macromonomer an…

Block copolymers in giant unilamellar vesicles with proteins or with phospholipids

2013

Biocompatible, highly water-soluble, nonionic, amphiphilic block copolymers having different hydrophobic blocks and architectures, but similar molecular size and chemical nature of the hydrophilic blocks, were investigated to check for their ability to form hybrid giant unilamellar vesicles with proteins, and for their interactions with giant unilamellar phospholipid vesicles (GUV). PGM14-b-PPO34-b-PGM14 (PGM-PPO-PGM) consists of a poly(propylene oxide) middle block and outer poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) blocks. Ch-PEG32-b-lPG18 (Ch-PEG-lPG) and Ch-PEG30-b-hbPG17 (Ch-PEG-hbPG) have a linear poly(ethylene glycol) block, linked to a cholesterol end group and to a linear (lPG) or hyperbranc…
