Poly(2-oxazoline)s are well-known for their easy and direct synthesis, providing access to well-defined structures, with tunable properties [1]. In this study, a 1 wt% PiPOx100-g-PEtOx17 molecular brush with a poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) (PiPOx) thermoresponsive backbone grafted with thermoresponsive poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) side chains is investigated in water-ethanol solvent mixtures. This densely grafted polymer with functional and biocompatible segments can be attractive for many applications, such as biomaterials.
In aqueous solution of 3 wt% of this molecular brush, lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior has been observed with an increase of the brush length upon heating from room temperature to Tcp [2]. In water-ethanol solvent mixtures of 1 wt% concentration, Tcp increases with the ethanol fraction. The temperature-dependent structural evolution is investigated using dynamic light scattering and synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering.
