Graft copolymers were prepared by both classical strategies, that is, from enzymatically obtained macromonomers by subsequent chemical polymerization and by enzymatic grafting from hydroxyl functional polymers. Kalra et al. studied the synthesis of PPDL graft copolymers from macromonomers, which were obtained by the enzymatic ROP of pentadecalactone (PDL) from hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and polyethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) [40]. Subsequently graft copolymers were obtained by free radical polymerization of the macromonomers. A similar approach was published by Srivastava for the HEMA-initiated enzymatic ROP of CL and subsequent free radical polymerization [41].

Immobilization through inclusion into a gel, similarly to immobilization by adsorption, is a physical method of protein fixation. Advantages of such a method are its simplicity and the absence of chemical modification of the enzyme molecules. Polyacrylamide, polyethylene glycol methacrylate, polysaccharide, polyionite, as well as various inorganic gels are used. 

Polyethylene glycol methacrylate gel is formed during copolymerization of methacrylate ethylene glycol and dimethacrylate ethylene glycol. The gels obtained are similar to the polyacrylamide ones but have better mechanical properties and transparency, and are more hydrophobic.

Signal intensity versus mtz plots all give readily interpretable MS suitable for structural analysis and chemical identification of the polymer being examined. End-group analysis can be performed. A high detection sensitivity is achievable. The following polymers were examined by Schrimmer and Li [50] PS, polyvinyl pyridine, PS-2-vinyl pyridine, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polymethyl methacrylate. 

The material so frinctionalized constitutes a multiarm macroinitiator for ATRP processes. From this core was grown a polar corona by foe polymerization of polyethylene glycol methacrylate (PGG-DP - 7 ) using bis-tr henyl ho hiiie nickel n bromide as foe catalyst in tolumie (95 C, 40% solids, initiator/catalyst = 0.23, nickel/monomer = 0.019 ). The anqrhiphilic product was isolated by prec itation and foe polymer data listed in Table 1. Hoe GPC aiuilysis is particularly troublesome, since foe materials stick to foe column resulting in very low estimates for the molecular weight From H-NMR, foe degree of polymerization/arm was estimated at 14 and foe measured Rfc (THF) = 10.1 nm ( 20% size increase relative to the polystyrene core). 

Pa sec. This is feasible for certain polymers like polyethylene oxides (PEO), polyethylene glycols, waxes and polyvinyl caprolactam-polivinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol (Soluplus ) for both single and twin types of extruders but not for polymers with high T or melt viscosity like acrylic, methacrylic and methacrylate copolymers and also for polyvinylpyrrolidone grades at the extrusion temperatures normally employed for pharmaceuticals between 100-180"C, for which the use of plasticizers described in the following section is imperative for smooth extrusion. 

The most widely investigated temperature-responsive biomedical polymer is poly(A-isopropyl acrylamide) (pNIPAM). This polymer is the focus of Chapter 1 in this book, and therefore it will not be discussed in depth here. However, pNIPAM has been paired with polyampholyte copolymers and applied to nanoparticle separations (Das et al., 2008), drug delivery (Bradley, Liu, Keddie, Vincent, Burnett, 2009 Bradley, Vincent, Burnett, 2009), and tissue engineering applications (Xu et al., 2008). In a related system, latridi et al. (2011) also used the LCST-responsive properties of polyethylene glycol methacrylate (PEGMA) copolymerized with methac-rylic acid and 2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate in a temperature- and pH-sensitive doxorubicin drug delivery system. However, the primary focus of this study was to demonstrate the pH-dependent release properties as discussed earlier. 

The application of AFM to surface morphological studies has been covered in relation to the following polymers polyesters, polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS) [28], polycarbonate, polyimide, polytetrafuoroethylene (PTFE) [29], polyurethane (PU) [30], rubbers [31], polyethylene glycol (PEG) [32], PS and poly(N-butyl-methacrylate) [33], PS [34], PP [35, 36], polyethers [37], polyorthoesters [38], poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) [39], bisphenol A-1, 8-dibromooctane copolymer [40], polycatechol [41], polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [42], poly(p-dioxanone)-poly(epsilon caprolactone) [43], poly(L-lactide-polyethylene glycol) [44] and polyvinylidene fluoride [45]. 

Both, natural and synthetic polymers with associative properties arising from hydrophobic interactions give aqueous solutions with LCST. Among the most known systems having LCST behaviour should be mentioned polyethylene glycol-water and aqueous solutions of methyl cellulose. Also, in poly(methacrylic) acid, LCST phase diagrams were determined from the change in shear modulus and turbidity. For alkali chitin, the main key role played by hydrophobic interactions in LCST is evident from the decrease in the fluorescence ratio observed in Fig. 3b. 

Two of the most commonly used synthetic polymers in combination with HA are polyethylene glycol (PEG) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). Hybrid hydrogels of PEG and HA can be formed by combining methacrylated HA with acrylated PEG via photopolymerisation [44]. HA has also been combined with an amine-terminated PLGA-PEG diblock copolymer. The -COOH groups of HA can be activated with l-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)... 

II. B polyethylene glycol, ethylene oxide, polystyrene, diisocyanates (urethanes), polyvinylchloride, chloroprene, THF, diglycolide, dilac-tide, <5-valerolactone, substituted e-caprolactones, 4-vinyl anisole, styrene, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate. In addition to these species, many copolymers have been prepared from oligomers of PCL. In particular, a variety of polyester-urethanes have been synthesized from hydroxy-terminated PCL, some of which have achieved commercial status (9). Graft copolymers with acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and styrene have been prepared using PCL as the backbone polymer (60).
