Polyzwitterions with LCST Side Chains: Tunable Self-Assembly [PDF]
Macromolecules, 2020 Manipulation of self-assembly behavior of copolymers via environmental change is attractive in the fabrication of smart polymeric materials. We present tunable self-assembly behavior of graft copolymers, poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)-graft-poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-co-di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (PSBM-g-

LCST-type polymers based on chiral-polymeric ionic liquids [PDF]
Chemical Communications, 2014 The self-assembly of linear polymers containing chiral IL units generates a high-order supramacromolecular structure with a complex hierarchical architecture, which is able to exhibit thermoresponsive behavior (lower critical solution temperature: LCST) with different structural elements that can be used to fine tune this LCST.

Controlled surface initiated polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide from polycaprolactone substrates for regulating cell attachment and detachment [PDF]
, 2012 Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) substrates were modified with thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brushes to direct and control cellular attachment and detachment. Prior to brush growth, the surface of PCL was activated by a diamine to allow

Tuning the critical solution temperature of polymers by copolymerization [PDF]
, 2015 We study statistical copolymerization effects on the upper critical solution temperature (CST) of generic homopolymers by means of coarse-grained Langevin dynamics computer simulations and mean-field theory.
