Abstract

Abstract : Optimal monomer ratios in the spontaneous zwitterionic copolymerisation yield defined telechelic macromonomers with near quantitative ω-carboxylic acid end groups. Abstract : Optimised monomer feed ratios in the spontaneous zwitterionic copolymerisation (SZWIP) of 2-oxazolines and acrylic acid enable the one-step synthesis of heterotelechelic α-acrylate, ω-carboxylic acid N -acylated poly(aminoester) macromonomers. Subsequent redox-initiated RAFT polymerisation at ambient temperature leads to comb polymers containing quantitative terminal side chain carboxylic acids, which allow efficient 'grafting-onto' using conventional peptide coupling strategies.
