Phase behavior and solution structure of new UCST- and LCST-type polymers
Copolymerization is a powerful strategy for the fabrication of new polymers with tailored functionality. For example, the copolymerization of acrylamide-based monomers with different substituents results in thermoresponsive polymers with either LCST- or UCST-type phase behavior. However not much is known about the solution structure of such polymers. We used RAFT polymerization to synthesize a variety of different copolymers based on acrylamide. Depending on the polymer composition and degree of polymerization we find significant differences in the phase behavior. Here we would like to study the form factor, the dynamic correlation length and the aggregation number of different UCST- and LCST-type polymers in the dilute and semidilute regime. We want to perform measurements at different temperatures covering the phase transition to analyze the phase behavior.
