The copolymers were characterized with FT-IR and SEM. The SEM results show that the molecular structure of copolymer is extended in salt water. It is proved that the copolymer shows good salt resistance.The solution properties of HCJ-1 were studied and compared with those of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide （HPAM）. The experimental results show that the obtained HCJ-1, compared with HPAM, exhibits a dramatic enhancement in the salt-resistant properties. The apparent viscosity retention rate of 1.5 g/L HCJ-1 aqueous solution and salt solution after 180 days at 60 ℃ are 70.6% and 64.5%, respectively, exhibiting good thermal stability. In addition, HCJ-1 solution also displays the excellent shearing resistance. In a word, the experimental results show the HCJ-1 is a promising profiling agent for high salinity reservoir.展开更多

The radius of gyration, the shape factors and bond length in different cases during elastic process are calculated, and it is found that the comb-like polymer molecules with longer backbone or shorter arm are more close to linear chains. But the arm density rn affects the chain conformation non-monotonously. Some thermodynamic properties are also studied. Average Helmholtz free energy and elastic force fall increase with elongation ratio 2 for all chains.展开更多

The thermal properties of the polymers such as thermal stability and phase transition behavior were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis and polarizing optical microscopy techniques. The experimental results show that all the synthesized polymers do not exhibit liquid crystallinity except the homopolymer of the mesogenic monomer MAPB2 and the glass transition temperatures of the polymers increase with increasing content of azo moiety in polymers linearly.展开更多

The structures of P（MPEGA-co-AM） was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared （FT-lR）. The experimental results showed that P（MPEGA-co-AM） copolymer possessed high molecular weight （Mo =66 kg/mol）, narrow molecular weight distribution （PDI≈1.14）. The phase transition temperature of copolymer decreases to 31℃, which is very much appreciated and urgently needed for smart PCM related to human body. Moreover, P（MPEGA-co-AM） had good thermal stability even at 380℃.展开更多

However, related synthesis and structure-property data are still lacking for comb-like PHPMA. In this work, we report the synthesis of comb-like PHPMA copolymer-doxorubicin （DOX） conjugates with different backbone/side-chain lengths and location of drug moieties. Well-defined comb-like PHPMA-DOX conjugates are obtained via the combination of controlled radical polymerization and fractional precipitation techniques. The influences of structural factors on the biological properties such as cellular uptake, blood circulation and tumor accumulation have been investigated. Long blood circulation and efficient tumor accumulation can be achieved by proper control of the comb number, length and location of drug moieties. These facile comb-like structures possess great potentials in future theranostics for brachytherapy or surgical navigation.展开更多

First,poly（oligo（ethylene glycol） malicate）（POEGMA） bearing pendant hydroxyl groups was prepared by direct polycondensation of oligo（ethylene glycol） and malic acid in the presence of scandium triflate as chemoselective catalyst.Then the poly（2- （dimethylamino）ethyl methacrylate） side chains were grafted from the POEGMA backbone by atom transfer radical polymerization （ATRP） after the hydroxyl groups were modified into bromo-ester form,resulting in a PEGylated cationic copolymer with branched architecture.展开更多

The effects on the crystallization behaviors of the samples could be found with the changes in molecular weight of MC-PEG and molecular weight of SC-PEG in certain cross-linked density. It is revealed that the samples appear not to crystallize when the molecular weight of MC-PEG and SC-PEG are 1000 g/mol or less than that. The samples begin to crystallize when the molecular weight of either MC-PEG or SC-PEG reaches 2000 g/mol. The crystallinity of crystallized MC-PEG decreases with the increasing molecular weight of uncrystallized SC-PEG and the crystallinity of crystallized SC-PEG declines with the rise of molecular weight of uncrystallizable MC-PEG. The chains of SC-PEG （M_n = 2000 g/mol） can fold and align easilier than those of MC-PEG （M_n = 2000 g/mol）, when the content of PEG is the same.展开更多
