The kinetics of methanol transport in 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) homopolymer and 75/25 and 50/50 mol fraction HEMA/DHPMA (2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate) copolymers at five different temperatures has been investigated using the sorption experiment technique. A combined case I and case II diffusion model was used to describe the transport processes. Four replicates for each temperature of each material having a nominal thickness of 0.1 mm were immersed in methanol maintained at 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 °C, and the mass uptake as a function of time was measured gravimetrically. Experimental results are found to be in good agreement with model prediction at all temperatures and for all three materials. Both the diffusion coefficients of case I transport and velocity of case II transport increase with increasing temperature. D values at low temperatures (35 and 40 °C), which are in the 10−9 cm2/s range, of the HEMA homopolymer are less than those of the copolymers. On the other hand, the activation energies of case I transport of the copolymers are substantially higher than those of the HEMA homopolymer; however, the level of DHPMA loading in the copolymer does not seem to affect the activation energy. In addition, thermodynamic heat and free energy of mixing values indicate heat is released when HEMA/DHPMA copolymers are exposed to methanol and that the solvent/copolymer systems exist as a continuous phase. In contrast, the methanol/HEMA homopolymer system exists as separate phases.

Different poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) copolymers (P(NIPAM-co-HEMA)) were synthesized from N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) comonomers by both radical and radiation polymerizations for comparison. PLLA-g-P(NIPAM-co-HEMA) graft copolymers were synthesized from L-lactide and respective P(NIPAM-co-HEMA) copolymers by ring opening polymerization. Both NMR and FTIR analyses demonstrated the PLLA chains have been grafted on to the P(NIPAM-co-HEMA) backbone. These graft copolymers revealed the cloud point temperature higher than that of PNIPAM homopolymer as determined by optical transmittance. The graft copolymers self-assembled into micelles with regularly spherical structures as observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The properties of these graft copolymers are interesting for the drug delivery system.
