Some two stage emulsion graft copolymer materials synthesized and characterized by DMS include) the series poly (methyl methacrylate)/poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PMMA/ PnBA) synthesized by Dickie (14) and the series poly(ethyl methacrylate)/poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PEMA/PnBA) synthesized by Sperling et al. (1) The present study will continue the development of the PEMA/PnBA damping materials by incorporating a common comonomer) ethyl acrylate (EA)) in both stages of the emulsion polymerization.

Several attempts have been made to superimpose creep and stress-relaxation data obtained at different temperatures on styrcne-butadiene-styrene block polymers. Shen and Kaelble (258) found that Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) (27) shift factors held around each of the glass transition temperatures of the polystyrene and the poly butadiene, but at intermediate temperatures a different type of shift factor had to be used to make a master curve. However, on very similar block polymers, Lim et ai. (25 )) found that a WLF shift factor held only below 15°C in the region between the glass transitions, and at higher temperatures an Arrhenius type of shift factor held. The reason for this difference in the shift factors is not known. Master curves have been made from creep and stress-relaxation data on partially miscible graft polymers of poly(ethyl acrylate) and poly(mcthyl methacrylate) (260). WLF shift factors held approximately, but the master curves covered 20 to 25 decades of time rather than the 10 to 15 decades for normal one-phase polymers.

Radiation Induced Reactions. Graft polymers have been prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) by the irradiation of the polymer-monomer system and some other methods. The grafted side chains reported include acrylamide, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, ethyl acrylate, ethylene, ethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinyl pyridine and vinyl pyrrolidone (13). Poly(vinyl alcohols) with grafted methyl methacrylate and sometimes methyl acrylate have been studied as membranes for hemodialysis (14). Graft polymers consisting of 50% poly(vinyl alcohol), 25% poly(vinyl acetate) and 25% grafted ethylene oxide units can be used to prepare capsule cases for drugs which do not require any additional plasticizers (15).

Brushes with diblock side chains have been prepared by the same concept as illustrated in Figure 13. In this case either a polystyrene block or a poly-(n-butylacrylate) block was grafted first by atom transfer polymerization, ATRP, on a poly(2-bro-mopropanoyl ethyl methacrylate), pBPEM, on which in a second step the other monomer was polymerized as the second block.189 Table 4 summarizes the molecular structure of the corresponding polymers, i.e., (i) the macroinitiator or mere backbone molecule (pPBEM) from which (ii) a brush with pnBuA homopolymer side chains (pBPEM-g—pnBuA), (iii) a... 

Cationic polymers, such as poly(L-lysine) (PEL), polyethylenimine (PEI), chitosan, polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers, poly(2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate, and polyphosphoesters, condense DNA to form compacted polyplexes. ° The size and the stability of polyplexes depend on the ratio of cations vs. anions, temperature, ionic strength, and the solvent. Stability of polyplexes can be enhanced by conjugating PEG to the polycations or by using PEG-containing block or graft polymers that form micelles. Small cationic peptides are also able to condense DNA, however, six-consecutive-cations is the minimal requirement to achieve this effectively. 

Pan et al. prepared a macroinitiator by chloromethylation of a commercially available AB block copolymer of poly (styrene-fe-ethylene-co-propylene) (SEP) and used it as a macroinitiator for the ATRP of ethyl methacrylate (EM A) [302]. The kinetic plot showed little evidence of termination during the reaction and the molecular weight of the graft copolymer increased linearly with the monomer conversion, resulting in a final Mn=73,200 and Mw/Mn=1.22. The weight ra-...
