Abstract The influence of pressure on a lower critical solution temperature is much more pronounced than on an upper critical solution temperature. Accordingly it is possible to control phase separation at a LCST phase boundary under isothermal conditions by merely adjusting the pressure on the system. An apparatus has been constructed to investigate the isothermal fractionation of polyisobutene in which precipitation is controlled by pressure. Two samples of polyisobutene of Mv=1.76×106 and 9.0×104 have been fractionated in isopentane solution so as to yield up to six and nine fractions respectively. The integral molecular weight distribution curves thus obtained are compared with those obtained from conventional fractionations at an UCST. The sensitivity of the method is poor with regard to the separation of low molecular weight fractions and degradation occurs at the higher temperatures to an appreciable extent.

The monomer 2-methacrylamido-caprolactam (4) was synthesized from methacryloyl chloride (3) and racemic α-amino-ε-caprolactam (2). Copolymerization of 4 with N,N-dimethylacrylamide (5) was carried out by a free-radical mechanism using 2,2’-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator. The new copolymers show a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water and an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in ethanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol. The solubility properties of the copolymers can be influenced significantly by the addition of randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin (CD). The complexation of the copolymers with CD, was confirmed by the use of ROESY-NMR-spectroscopy.
