Thermo- and pH-responsive poly(N-[3-(diethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide)s were synthesized by free radical polymerization and RAFT polymerization. The molar masses of the samples were 33,000–35,000 g∙mol−1. Investigations of the dilute solutions showed that the prepared samples were flexible chain polymers. The behavior of the synthesized polymers in the buffer solutions was analyzed by turbidity and light scattering at a pH range of 7–13 and a concentration range of 0.0002–0.008 g·cm−3. When the concentrated solutions were at a low temperature, there were macromolecules and aggregates, which were formed due to the interaction of hydrophobic units. For the investigated samples, the lower critical solution temperatures were equal. The phase separation temperatures decreased as pH increased. The influence of polydispersity index on the characteristics of the samples in the solutions was analyzed. The radii of molecules of poly(N-[3-(diethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide) obtained by RAFT polymerization at this temperature at the onset and end of the phase separation interval were lower than ones for samples synthesized by conventional free radical polymerization.

AbstractModification of polymeric materials has been a significant issue over last two decades in many fields of application. Among modification techniques developed to date, surface grafting has emerged as a simple, useful, and versatile approach to improve surface properties of polymers for a wide variety of applications. The synthesis of tethered block copolymer brushes via the use of controlled/”living” free radical polymerization techniques presents many significant advantages over traditional free radical polymerization techniques. This review surveys recent literature on polymer surfaces with graft chains, mainly focusing on grafting methods such as surface-initiated controlled/”living” free radical polymerization via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP), reversible addition fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization and iniferter techniques.
