RAFT synthesis and aqueous solution behavior of novel ph- and thermo-responsive (Co)polymers derived from reactive poly(2-vinyl-4,4- dimethylazlactone) scaffolds

Well-defined homopolymers of 2-vinyl-4,4-dimethylazlactone (VDA) and AB diblock copolymers of VDA with N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization are reported. VDA homopolymers reacted with...
