Cyclodextrins in polymer synthesis: Free radical copolymerization of methylated beta-cyclodextrin complexes of hydrophobic monomers with N-isopropylacrylamide in aqueous medium
P. Casper et al., Cyclodextrins in polymer synthesis: Free radical copolymerization of methylated beta-cyclodextrin complexes of hydrophobic monomers with N-isopropylacrylamide in aqueous medium, MACROMOLEC, 33(12), 2000, pp. 4361-4364
Methylated beta-cyclodextrin (me-beta-CD) was used to form water-soluble ho
st/guest complexes with the hydrophobic monomers n-butyl methacrylate (1),
cyclohexyl methacrylate (2), isobornyl acrylate (3), isobornyl methaclylate
(4), and styrene (5), respectively. The free-radical copolymerizations of
the water-soluble N-isoplropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) with these complexed mono
mers were carried out in water at different molar ratios.
