Hoffman and his coworkers have done a lot of work on the apphcation of radiation-induced graft polymerization for medical apphcation. The hydrophilic polymers that have been used for radiation-induced grafting are Al-vinyl pyrohdone (NVP), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), acrylamide (AAm), acrylic acid (AAc), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and ethyl methacrylate (EMA) onto sihcone rubber were widely smdied. 

Hyperbranched poly(ethyl methacrylate)s prepared by the photo-initiated radical polymerization of the inimer 13 were characterized by GPC with a lightscattering detector [51]. The hydrodynamic volume and radius of gyration (i g) of the resulting hyperbranched polymers were determined by DLS and SAXS, respectively. The ratios of Rg/R are in the range of 0.75-0.84, which are comparable to the value of hard spheres (0.775) and significantly lower than that of the linear unperturbed polymer coils (1.25-1.37). The compact nature of the hyperbranched poly(ethyl methacrylate)s is demonstrated by solution properties which are different from those of the linear analogs. 

Hydrophobic polymers with some hydrophilic groups can be obtained with an emulsion polymerization technique. Suitable monomers are nitrogen-containing acrylics and methacrylics allyl monomers such as dimethylamino-ethyl methacrylate, dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide, diethylamino-ethyl methacrylate, dimethylaminoethyl acrylate, diethylaminoethyl acrylate and nitrogen-containing allyl monomers (e.g., diallylamine and N,N-diallyl-cyclohexylamine) [225,226]. 

The polymerization of 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, DEAEMA, was studied under different conditions. It was shown that the best system providing narrow molecular weight distribution polymers involved the use of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride/CuCl/HMTETA as the initiator/catalyst/ligand at 60 °C in methanol [72]. Taking advantage of these results, well-defined PDEAEMA-fr-PfBuMA block copolymers were obtained. The synthesis was successful when either fBuMA or DEAEMA was polymerized first. Poor results with bimodal distributions were obtained when CuBr was used as the catalyst. This behavior was attributed to the poor blocking efficiency of PDEAEMA-Br and the incomplete functionalization of the macroinitiator. 

The triblock terpolymer polypropylene oxide)-h-poly[2-(dimethylami-no)ethyl methacrylate]-b-poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate], PPO-fc-PDMAEMA-fc-POEGMA, was prepared using the PPO macroinitiator followed by the addition of CuCl, HMTETA, and DMAEMA for the polymerization of the second block and finally OEGMA for the synthesis of the final product (Scheme 54) [128]. 

The variations in fluorescence intensity of compound 1 during the polymerization reaction of methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and n-butyl methacrylate (n-BMA), initiated using AIBN at 70 °C, are shown in Figure B8.1.1.

In this study, we demonstrate new pH/temperature-sensitive polymers with transitions resulting from both polymer-polymer and polymer-water interactions and their applications as stimuli-responsive drug carriers [22-23], For this purpose, copolymers of (Ai,Ai-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and ethylacrylamide (EAAm) [or acrylamide (AAm)] were prepared and characterized as polymeric drug delivery systems modulated for pulsatile and time release. 

The first diblock copolymer brushes synthesized in our group were made by a combination of carbocationic polymerization and ATRP (Scheme 1) [46]. Zhao and co-workers [47] synthesized diblock copolymer brushes consisting of a tethered chlorine-terminated PS block, produced using carbocationic polymerization, on top of which was added a block of either PMMA, poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) or poly((Ar,M -dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA), synthesized using ATRP. The thickness of the outer poly(meth)acrylate block was controlled by adding varying amounts of free initiator to the ATRP media. It has been reported that the addition of free initiator is required to provide a sufficiently high concentration of deactivator, which is necessary for controlled polymerizations from the sur-... 

Penultimate effects have been observed for many comonomer pairs. Among these are the radical copolymerizations of styrene-fumaronitrile, styrene-diethyl fumarate, ethyl methacrylate-styrene, methyl methacrylate l-vinylpyridine, methyl acrylate-1,3-butadiene, methyl methacrylate-methyl acrylate, styrene-dimethyl itaconate, hexafluoroisobutylene-vinyl acetate, 2,4-dicyano-l-butene-isoprene, and other comonomer pairs [Barb, 1953 Brown and Fujimori, 1987 Buback et al., 2001 Burke et al., 1994a,b, 1995 Cowie et al., 1990 Davis et al., 1990 Fordyce and Ham, 1951 Fukuda et al., 2002 Guyot and Guillot, 1967 Hecht and Ojha, 1969 Hill et al., 1982, 1985 Ma et al., 2001 Motoc et al., 1978 Natansohn et al., 1978 Prementine and Tirrell, 1987 Rounsefell and Pittman, 1979 Van Der Meer et al., 1979 Wu et al., 1990 Yee et al., 2001 Zetterlund et al., 2002]. Although ionic copolymerizations have not been as extensively studied, penultimate effects have been found in some cases. Thus in the anionic polymerization of styrene t-vinylpyri-dine, 4-vinylpyridine adds faster to chains ending in 4-vinylpyridine if the penultimate unit is styrene [Lee et al., 1963]. 

In addition to MMA, a variety of methacrylic esters were polymerized rapidly to the corresponding polymers with narrow MWDs in the presence of methylaluminum bis(2-ferf-butyl-4-methoxyphenolate) (3c). The successful examples include ethyl methacrylate (EMA), isopropyl methacrylate ( °PMA), n-butyl methacrylate ("BMA), isobutyl methacrylate ( °BMA), benzyl methacrylate (BnMA), and dodecyl methacrylate (Cj2MA), where the Mn values were all close to the predicted values (Mn j ) with the Mw/Mn ratios below 1.1 (Table 3, runs 1-4,6,7). The polymerization of ferf-butyl methacrylate ( BMA) is the only exception, where the monomer conversion hardly increased even after 24 h. 

The enolate species 2, derived from methacrylates with bulkier ester groups than MMA, are sterically protected against the access of BujAl under the above-mentioned conditions, even when the porphyrin moiety is a non-ortho-substituted tetraphenylporphyrin. An example is shown by the polymerization of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) using 1 (X=Me) as an initiator, where the growing species have an EtO group in the terminal enolate unit 2 (R=Et). After the addition of BujAl to the system, polymerization proceeded to 100% monomer conversion within 10 min. The Mn of the produced polymer was close to the expected value, and the MWD was narrow (Table 5, run 5). A similar result was obtained for the polymerization of isopropyl methacrylate (PMA) with the 1 (X= Mel- soBujAl system, which quantitatively gave a narrow MWD poly(methacr-ylate) with a predicted Mn (Table 5, run 6). 

Murray et al. (2) prepared permeable membranes for selectively removing phosphate, nitrate, and ferric cations by polymerizing and crosslinking with the modified matrix monomer, (bis-acrylamindo-phenanthroline)dinitrate, (IV), to produce an ion permeability substrate. Kulkami et al. (3) selectively removed cobalt cations from solution using 2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate copolymers,... 

As noted in the introduction, the first successful studies of PCS near the glass transition in polymers employed thermally polymerized styrene. The monomer was dried over calcium hydride and vacuum distilled directly into the scattering cell. This procedure was also successfully employed to prepare poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)28) and poly-(ethyl methacrylate)(PEMA)29). Although our own samples were all prepared without... 

Materials. The PMMA used was Acrylite H-12 molding compound (American Cyanamid Co.). This material was available as pellets. PVdF was Kynar 401 (Pennwalt Chemicals Co.), a powder of high but unspecified molecular weight. PEMA was polymerized in bulk in the laboratory from ethyl methacrylate (Rohm Haas) by a laboratory scale adaptation of the PMMA process (22). 

Controlled free-radical polymerization methods, like atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), can yield polymer chains that have a very narrow molecular-weight distribution and allow the synthesis of block copolymers. In a collaboration between Matyjaszewski and DeSimone (Xia et al., 1999), ATRP was performed in C02 for the first time. PFOMA-/)-PMMA, PFOMA-fr-PDMAEMA [DMAEMA = 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate], and PMMA-/)-PFOA-/)-PM M A copolymers were synthesized in C02 using Cu(0), CuCl, a functionalized bipyridine ligand, and an alkyl halide initiator. The ATRP method was also conducted as a dispersion polymerization of MMA in C02 with PFOA as the stabilizer, generating a kine-...
