The methods of gel synthesis, immobilization of monomer conjugated enzyme, assay of enzyme activity, and determination of gel water content have been published elsewhere (4,5). A schematic of the synthesis is shown in Fig. 1. The gel compositions are identified as NA-100" (100% NIPAAm), "NA-95" (95% NIPAAm, 5% AAm), NA-90 (90% NIPAAm, 10% AAm) and "NA-85" (85% NIPAAm, 15% AAm) all are based on mole percents of monomers. Total monomer concentration was always 1.75 M. The experiment to determine the temperature dependence of enzyme activity was carried out after the enzyme reversibility experiment.

Latex IPNs. Latex IPNs are the third type of IPNs and are manufactured according to the general schematic illustrated in Figure 3. Latex IPN synthesis involves the initial synthesis of a crosslinked seed polymer, usually in the form of an aqueous latex. The seed latex is then swollen with a second monomer/crosslinker/initiator system which is then polymerized "in situ" to form an aqueous IPN emulsion. Materials of this type are best suited to coating applications as illustrated by the development of "Silent Paint" by Sperling et al ( ). However, latex IPNs are limited to water emulsifiable monomer/polymer systems, most of which have fairly low service temperatures, less than 150 C. 

Investigations on Dow membranes can be found in Refs. [70-82]. Solvay Solexis has started a research and development project to create new ionomer membranes for fuel cells and other applications similar to the Dow concept. The development is based on Solexis s capability for producing sulfonylfluoridevinylether by a much simpler route than the original Dow synthesis [83]. The Solexis route is schematically represented in Figure 27.29 and the monomer can be produced on an industrial scale. The SSC monomer and TFE are copolymerized by free-radical polymerization to obtain the polymers in Figure 27.30 (named Hyflon Ion). 

In (Section 8) we have considered kinetic phenomena encountered during the copolymerization of L- and D-enantiomorphs of a single type of NCA. Copolymerization of mixtures of NCAs of different a-amino acids to give random copolymers is readily realizable [2], one of the earliest examples reported being the synthesis of a DL-phenylalanine L-leucine copolymer by Woodward and Schramm [78]. However, there are few reports on the kinetics of random copolymerization. Shalitin and Katchalski [79] studied the copolymerization of the NCAs of 7-benzyl L-glutamate (A) and e,N-carbobenzoxy L-lysine (B) initiated by diethyl-amine in N,iV-dimethylformamide at 25°C and obtained the interesting result that the over-all rate of reaction (measured by the CO2 evolution) is equal to the sum of the rates of reaction of the individual monomers under similar conditions. The copolymerization is represented schematically in (60)...

Completely molecularly homogeneous macromolecules, on the other hand, are produced by the structure-conixoWtA synthesis of nucleic acids (Chapter 29) and enzymes (Chapter 30). The molar mass and the chemical structure of the macromolecule produced are determined in this case by a specific morphological arrangement (matrix or template). In the first step, the monomer M is bound to the unit T of the macromolecular matrix, and in the second step, monomeric units joined together as a macromolecule are released from the template. The process is shown schematically as... 

Figure 1 Schematic representation of the synthesis of defined SPB In the first step, a PS latex is generated, which is then covered by a thin layer of the photoinitiator 2-[p-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone)]-ethylene glycol methacrylate (HMEM) in the second step. Photoinitiation in the presence of water-soluble monomers, such as acrylic acid, leads to polyelectrolyte chains grafted onto the surface of the core particles in the third step.

The synthesis of photodegradable copolymers of olefins with carbon monoxide and ketones are shown schematically below, when R = C0H5 the monomer is styrene, and R = H the monomer is ethylene (Scott, 1973 Cooney, 1981 Guillet, 1990). 

This section describes the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed synthesis of both homo- and copolymers of aromatic polymers based on phenols, naphthols, aniline, and their derivatives. Syntheses of novel optically active polymers are studied by changing the environment in which the enzyme functions, along with the organization of the monomers in the reaction mixture. To this objective, enzyme-catalyzed polymer syntheses are carried out in bulk monophasic conditions in which the solvent is miscible with water, biphasic solvent systems in which the solvents used for the syntheses are not miscible with water, and oil-in-water system in the presence of a detergent called reverse micelles. These experimental approaches are shown schematically in Fig. 4. 

One advantage of the RAFT process is its eompatibility with a wide range of monomers, including fnnctional monomers. Thus narrow polydispersity block copolymers have been prepared with monomers containing acid (e.g., acrylic acid), hydroxy (e.g., 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), and tertiary amino [e.g., 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] functionality (Chiefari et al., 1998). Linear block copolymers are the simplest polymeric architecmres achievable via RAFT process. There are two main routes for the synthesis of block copolymers by the RAFT process, viz., (i) sequential monomer addition (chain extension) and (ii) synthesis via macro-CTAs (by R- or Z-group approaches). These are schematically shown in Fig. 11.37. Linear block copolymers are the simplest polymeric architectures achievable via RAFT process.
