A novel zwitterionic triblock copolymer of poly(dimethylamino carbonate)-polycaprolactone-poly((2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium) [PAC(DMA)-PCL-PMDMSA] was designed and synthesized via sequential ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization successively. The 1H NMR and...

To develop a new drug delivery matrix with the suitable responsive interval, a well-defined triblock copolymer MPEG-b-PNIPAM-b-MPEG was synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Then, the supramolecular hydrogels were fabricated via inclusion complexation with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and the triblock copolymers in aqueous solutions. The triblock copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and the supramolecular structures of hydrogels was confirmed by DSC. The resultant hydrogels was found to be thermo-sensitive, and the response interval could be modulated by controlling the content of PNIPAM.

The block copolymer poly (ε-caprolactone)-b-poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PCL-b-PNIPAM) is synthesized via the combination of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT). PCL-b-PNIPAM can self-assemble into the micelles taking PCL as the cores and PNIPAM as the shells. Add α-CD into the micelles, because the inclusion complexation of α-CD to PCL chains and phenols is stronger than that to PCL, to regulate the hydrophilic and hydrophobic features of PCL chain. So PCL-b-PNIPAM block copolymers have potential application in drug delivery and gene transfection.

A novel organic–inorganic ABA triblock copolymer with a poly(acrylate amide) (PAA) midblock and poly(POSS acrylate) [P(POSS)] endblocks was synthesized via sequential reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization.
