Dual-Responsive Amphiphilic P(DMAEMA-co-LMA-co-OEGMA) Terpolymer Nano-Assemblies in Aqueous Media.

ABSTRACT: This work reports on the synthesis and self-assembly of a novel series of dual-responsive poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate-co-laurylmethacrylate-co-(oligoethyleneglycol)methacrylate], P(DMAEMA-co-LMA-co-OEGMA)statistical terpolymers in aqueous solutions. Five P(DMAEMA-co-LMA-co-OEGMA) amphiphilic terpolymers, having different content of the three monomers, were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The success of the synthesis was confirmed by the molecular characterization of the terpolymers via size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for the determination of molecular weights and the molecular weight distributions. By using nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, it was possibl
