Micellar structures poly derivatives

Linear copolymers of Gd(DTPA-bisamide) or Gd(EGTA-bisamide) units with poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG) or polyalkyl (-(CH2)n- n = 6,10 and 12) spacers also had water exchange kinetics similar to that of the corresponding monomer chelate [60-62]. An 170 NMR study on the micellar system formed in aqueous solution of the amphiphilic DOTA-derivative [Gd(D0TA-C12)(H20)] also showed that the water exchange is not altered by the micellar structure [63].

Particles of the enzymatically synthesized phenolic polymers were also formed by reverse micellar polymerization. A thiol-containing polymer was synthesized by peroxidase-catalyzed copolymerization of p-hydroxythiophenol and p-ethylphenol in reverse micelles [70], CdS nanoparticles were attached to the copolymer to give polymer-CdS nanocomposites. The reverse micellar system was also effective for the enzymatic synthesis of poly(2-naphthol) consisting of qui-nonoid structure [71], which showed a fluorescence characteristic of the naphthol chromophore. Amphiphilic higher alkyl ester derivatives were enzymatically polymerized in a micellar solution to give surface-active polymers at the air-water interface [72, 73].
