Usage

General Description

Poly(N-octyl methacrylate) is a polymer that is composed of repeating units of N-octyl methacrylate monomers. It is a colorless, odorless, and transparent solid with a high molecular weight and good thermal stability. This chemical is often used as a building block in various applications such as coatings, adhesives, and elastomers due to its excellent tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. Additionally, it has low toxicity and is considered to be a safe material for use in food packaging and medical devices. Its properties make it suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer products.

Synthesis and single-chain folding of amphiphilic random copolymers in water

Amphiphilic random methacrylate copolymers, consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and alkyl pendent groups, undergo reversible single-chain self-folding in water via intramolecular hydrophobic interaction, to generate a dynamic unimolecular hydrophobic nanospace, similar in shape but structurally different relative to micelles and microgel star polymers. These copolymers were prepared by the ruthenium-catalyzed living radical copolymerization of a PEG methacrylate (PEGMA) and an alkyl methacrylate (RMA; R, -CnH 2n+1, n = 1-18), where copolymer composition, degree of polymerization, and hydrophobic R moiety were varied. Detailed structural and chain-folding characterization has revealed: single-chain folding is favored with the RMA content 20-40 mol % per chain; the hydrophobic inner compartment (or the self-folded structure) is stable even at a high polymer concentration (up to ～6 wt %); and folded-unfolded transition occurs on addition of methanol or by elevating solution temperature, finally to phase-separation above a lower critical solution temperature.

N-Butyl-2,4-dinitro-anilinium p-toluenesulfonate as a highly active and selective esterification catalyst

N-Butyl-2,4-dinitro-anilinium p-toluenesulfonate (1) was found to be a very active esterification catalyst that promotes condensation of equal mole amount of carboxylic acids and alcohols under mild conditions. This catalyst is also highly selective towards carboxylic acid and alcohol substrates at ambient temperature.

Vesicular assembly and thermo-responsive vesicle-to-micelle transition from an amphiphilic random copolymer

Vesicular assembly from a thermo-responsive amphiphilic random copolymer is reported. Vesicle-to-micelle transition above a critical morphology transition temperature (CMTT) resulted in selective triggered release of encapsulated hydrophilic guests over hydrophobic ones. The aggregation pattern of a control polymer indicated a defined role of the methacrylamide groups in the polymer backbone for such unprecedented self-assembly from a simple polymer.
