Ionomers containing sodium 4-styrene sulfonate (4SS) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEGA) were synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymerization was mediated by 1-phenylethyl dithiobenzoate chain transfer agent in a dimethylformamide/water solvent system. Well-defined copolymers of pPEGA-co-4SS were produced with molecular weights ranging from 10 to 40 kDa and polydispersity indices of 1.06–1.18 by gel permeation chromatography against monodisperse poly(methyl methacrylate) standards. After polymerization, the dithioester was reduced and trapped in situ with divinyl sulfone to produce a well-defined, semitelechelic pPEGA-co-4SS Michael acceptor polymer. UV-visible, infrared, and 1H NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the integrity of the polymer backbone was maintained and that the vinyl sulfone was successfully incorporated at the chain end.

The surface wettability of thermo-responsive random poly (ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate-co-triethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate), abbreviated as P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA), was investigated in thin film. UV-Vis spectroscopy shows that the LCST of P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA) with molar ratios of 0:20, 6:14 and 9:11 were 43°C, 32 oC and 25 oC, respectively. LCST shifts towards lower temperature when molar ratio of MEOMA increases. ATR-FTIR indicates that P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA) thin film experienced a collapse when the temperature passes its LCST. The contact angle of the paraffin oil on the film decreases 15o when the temperature is above its LCST, which confirms the surface wettability can be controlled. Atomic force microscopy shows the surface of the swollen thin film becomes rougher when above it LCST.
