Amphiphilic graft copolymers with ethyl cellulose backbone: Synthesis, self-assembly and tunable temperature-CO2 response.
    Carbohydrate polymers, 2016, Jan-20, Volume: 136

    Amphiphilic ethyl cellulose-graft-poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (EC-g-PDMAEMA) and ethyl cellulose-graft-poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate-co-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (EC-g-P(MEO2MA-co-DMAEMA)) graft copolymers were easily synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The micelles self-assembled from the copolymer presented switchable temperature-CO2 dually responsive properties. The value of lower critical solution temperature (LCST) for the copolymer micelle solutions could be adjusted by CO2/Ar. Moreover, due to the alteration of the ratio of DMAEMA to MEO2MA, the LCST values of the micelle solutions decreased with the increase of MEO2MA in copolymer. The temperature-CO2 dually responsive properties of the copolymer were reversible and could be accomplished through altering the temperature and bubbling CO2/Ar. The hydrodynamic radius (Rh) of the copolymer micelles was also influenced by the ratio of DMAEMA to MEO2MA and the stimuli of temperature and CO2/Ar. As a drug release system, the copolymer micelles could achieve the control release of doxorubicin (DOX) by changing the temperature and alternatively bubbling CO2/Ar.

Ethyl cellulose amphiphilic graft copolymers with LCST-UCST transition: Opposite self-assembly behavior, hydrophilic-hydrophobic surface and tunable crystalline morphologies.
    Carbohydrate polymers, 2016, 08-20, Volume: 147

    Novel and well-defined graft copolymer with block copolymer side chain, ethyl cellulose-graft-(poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethylmeth acrylate)) (EC-g-(PCL-b-PDMAEMA)) with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) was successfully synthesized via the combination of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). EC-g-(PCL-b-PDMAEMA) copolymers with various PCL-b-PDMAEMA block lengths were obtained by adjusting the molar ratios of the N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate monomer to ε-caprolactone. The EC-g-(PCL-b-PDMAPS) with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was obtained via facile quaternization reaction of PDMAEMA with 1,3-propane sultone. EC-g-(PCL-b-PDMAEMA) and EC-g-(PCL-b-PDMAPS) micelle solutions showed opposite thermoresponsiviness and hydrophilic-hydrophobic surface. Moreover, the tunable crystalline morphologies could be obtained from these graft copolymers through changing the polymer structure and PDMAEMA contents.
