Water soluble polyperoxides from 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate: influence of molecular oxygen on thermoresponsive properties and thermal degradation

Abstract

The 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate and molecular oxygen react at 50 °C under high pressure in the presence of a radical initiator to give water soluble, thermoresponsive poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) peroxide (PMEO2MAP), which degrades highly exothermically. The polymer structure has been confirmed by spectroscopy, elemental analysis, calorimetry and mass spectrometry.
