Structural dependence of the solution behavior of HPMA-based polymers

Abstract

Water-soluble polymers are extensively studied materials in the field of biomedical chemistry research. This study investigates the behavior of methacrylamide-based homopolymers and copolymers with linear, two-arm, and star-like structures in aqueous solutions. The research focuses on how the polymer structure affects its solution behavior. The study uses intrinsic and shear viscosity measurements to examine the influence of these structures on solution behavior at both molecular and macroscopic levels.
