Soft nanoparticles are interesting materials due to their size, deformability, and ability host guest molecules. Surface properties play an essential role in determining the fate of particles biological medium, coating (and polymers) with carbohydrates has been found be efficient strategy for increasing biocompatibility fine-tuning other important such as aqueous solubility. In this work, soft nanogels poly(N-vinylcaprolactam), PNVCL, were surface-functionalized different glucose maltose...
A thermoresponsive polymer, poly(<italic>N</italic>-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL), was synthesized in an emulsion above its thermal transition temperature to produce particles <italic>via</italic> polymerization induced self-assembly (PISA).
Abstract Various copper‐based catalyst systems and reaction conditions were studied in the graft copolymerization of N,N ‐dimethylacrylamide (DMAam) with a cellulose‐based macroinitiator by controlled radical polymerization. The cellulose degree substitution DS = 0.44 was synthesized from dissolving softwood pulp LiCl/DMAc solution. copolymerizations DMAam, using various systems, then carried out DMSO solutions. kinetics followed 1 H NMR. Water‐soluble cellulose‐ g ‐PDMAam copolymers...
Soft nanoparticles are an important class of material with potential to be used as carriers active compounds. Swollen, penetrable particles can act a host for the ingredients and provide stability, stimuli-responsiveness recyclability guest. Thermoresponsive colloidal gel especially attractive such applications due extremely soft structure, size responsiveness. Poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) is much studied, popular thermoresponsive polymer. The polymer has low toxicity phase transition...
