RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization is used to prepare poly(methacrylic acid)-poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer nanoparticles, which exhibit stimulus-responsive behaviour on adjusting the solution temperature and/or solution pH.

Semi-crystalline diblock copolymer spheres, worms or vesicles are prepared by polymerization-induced self-assembly via RAFT dispersion polymerization of stearyl methacrylate. DSC studies confirm local order for the core-forming poly(stearyl methacrylate) chains.

An optimization of the 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and hydroxy benzotriazole mediated conjugation of the polysaccharide chitosan with functional carboxylic acids was shown. Optimal parameters that enable resource-efficient synthesis of highly functionalized chitosan were identified. In particular, use of only catalytic instead of stoichiometric amounts of hydroxy benzotriazole and tight control of pH in reaction mixture resulted in highly efficient incorporation of the desired moieties as side chains in chitosan. As a result, the model reactant 4-azidobenzoic acid was incorporated resulting in a degree of substitution of over 30% with very high coupling efficacy of up to 90%. Similar results were obtained with other carboxylic acids such as methacrylic acid, 3-(2-furyl) propionic acid and 3-maleimido propionic acid, highlighting the broad applicability of our findings for the functionalization of chitosan.
