The influence of the chemical structure of both end groups onto the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly [oligo (ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate]( POEGMA) in water was systematically investigated. POEGMA of M n= 3550 g/mol and M w/M n= 1.14 prepared by reversible addition− fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was equipped with two different functional end groups in a one-step ...
