Popis: Four stimuli-responsive polymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPSA) and crosslinked derivatives by N,N&prime
methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) were synthesized: PNA, PAMPSA, PNAM, PAMPSAM. The effect of the cross-linker and methyl sulphonic acid (-CH3-SO3H) group on particle size, aggregation and volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) was investigated. Polymeric particles were synthesized via the surfactant free precipitation polymerization (SFPP) at 70 °
C in the presence of cationic initiator 2,2&prime
azobis[2-methylpropionamidine] dihydrochloride (AMP) system. Chemical composition and morphology of investigated samples were evaluated using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR spectrometry and SEM-EDS techniques. The hydrodynamic diameters (HD), zeta potential (ZP), and polydispersity index (PDI) in aqueous dispersions were assessed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) between 18&ndash
42 °
C. HD values at 18 °
C for PNA, PAMPSA, PNAM, PAMPSAM polymers were approx. 32, 730, 715, 665 nm, and ZP values were &minus
1.36, &minus
0.01, 8.90, &minus
0.09 mV, respectively. The VPTT range was observed between 29 and 41 °
C. PDI&rsquo
s for PNA and PNAM were low and varied between 0.276 and 0.460, and between 0.119 and 0.056, respectively. PAMPSA and PAMPSAM were characterized by higher PDI in the range 0.728&ndash
0.959 and 0.658&ndash
0.836, respectively. The results confirmed the thermal sensitivity of the synthesized polymers and indicated a significant polydispersity and aggregation tendency of the resulting molecules. The conductivity results were applied for the interpretation of the polymerization process.
