Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate (dimethylaminoethyl + methacrylate)
Selected AbstractsPreparation and characterization of a molecularly imprinted monolithic column for pressure-assisted CEC separation of nitroimidazole drugsELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 16 2010Sulan Liao Abstract A polymethacrylate-based molecularly imprinted monolithic column bearing mixed functional monomers, using non-covalent imprinting approach, was designed for the rapid separation of nitroimidazole compounds. The new monolithic column has been prepared via simple in situ polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and ethylene dimethacrylate, using (S)-ornidazole ((S)-ONZ) as template in a binary porogenic mixture consisting of toluene and dodecanol. The composition of the polymerization mixture was systematically altered and optimized by altering the amount of monomers as well as the composition of the porogenic solvent. The column performance was evaluated in pressure-assisted CEC mode. Separation conditions such as pH, voltage, amount of organic modifier and salt concentration were studied. The optimized monolithic column resulted in excellent separation of a group of structurally related nitroimidazole drugs within 10,min in isocratic elution condition. Column efficiencies of 99,000, 80,000, 103,000, 60,000 and 99,000,plates/m were obtained for metronidazole, secnidazole, ronidazole, tinidazole and dimetridazole, respectively. Parallel experiments were carried out using molecularly imprinted and non-imprinted capillary columns. The separation might be the result of combined effects including hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding and the imprinting cavities on the (S)-ONZ-imprinted monolithic column. [source] Self-Supporting, Double Stimuli-Responsive Porous Membranes From Polystyrene- block -poly(N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) Diblock CopolymersADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 7 2009Felix Schacher Abstract Asymmetric membranes are prepared via the non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) process from a polystyrene- block -poly(N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PS- b -PDMAEMA) block copolymer. The polymer is prepared via sequential living anionic polymerization. Membrane surface and volume structures are characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Due to their asymmetric character, resulting in a thin separation layer with pores below 100,nm on top and a macroporous volume structure, the membranes are self-supporting. Furthermore, they exhibit a defect-free surface over several 100,µm2. Polystyrene serves as the membrane matrix, whereas the pH- and temperature-sensitive minority block, PDMAEMA, renders the material double stimuli-responsive. Therefore, in terms of water flux, the membranes are able to react on two independently applicable stimuli, pH and temperature. Compared to the conditions where the lowest water flux is obtained, low temperature and pH, activation of both triggers results in a seven-fold permeability increase. The pore size distribution and the separation properties of the obtained membranes were tested through the pH-dependent filtration of silica particles with sizes of 12,100,nm. [source] Water sorption kinetics in light-cured poly-HEMA and poly(HEMA- co -TEGDMA); determination of the self-diffusion coefficient by new iterative methodsJOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 4 2007Irini D. Sideridou Abstract The present investigation is concerned with the determination of self-diffusion coefficient (D) of water in methacrylate-based biomaterials following Fickian sorption by two new methods: the Iterative and the Graphical methods. The D value is traditionally determined by means of the initial slope of the corresponding sorption curve and the so-called Stefan's approximation. The proposed methods using equations without approximations and data resulting from the whole sorption range reach to accurate values of D, even when the sorption curve does not present an initial linear portion. In addition to D, the Graphical method allows the extrapolation of the mass of the sorbed water at equilibrium (M,), even when the equilibrium specimen's mass fluctuates around its limited value (m,). The test of the proposed procedures by means of ideal and Monte Carlo simulated data revealed that these methods are fairly applicable. The obtained D values compared with those determined by means of the Stephan's method revealed that the proposed methods provide more accurate results. Finally, the proposed methods were successfully applied to the experimental determination of the diffusion coefficient of water (50°C) in the homopolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and in the copolymer of HEMA with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (98/2 mol/mol). These polymers were prepared by light curing (, = 470 nm) at room temperature in presence of camphorquinone and N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate as initiator. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The monomers were prepared by the reaction of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with diglycidyl-ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), respectively. The progress of the reaction was followed by measuring the disappearance of the epoxide group peak using FTIR and the structure of the monomers was characterized by 1H-NMR. BHEP and MEHP have lower viscosity because of the presence of long aliphatic spacer on both sides of the aromatic ring in BHEP and the absence of aromatic rings and the presence of only one hydroxyl group in each molecule of MEHP. Thermal curing of the monomers was conducted in a DSC using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. Photopolymerization of the monomers was also conducted with the visible light using camphorquinone and N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate as the photoinitiating system. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2007 [source] Water-soluble triply-responsive homopolymers of N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate with a terminal azobenzene moietyJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 12 2010Xinde Tang Abstract Novel water-soluble triply-responsive homopolymers of N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) containing an azobenzene moiety as the terminal group were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique. The ATRP process of DMAEMA was initiated by an azobenzene derivative substituted with a 2-bromoisobutyryl group (Azo-Br) in the presence of CuCl/Me6TREN in 1,4-dioxane as a catalyst system. The molecular weights and their polydispersities of the resulting homopolymers (Azo-PDMAEMA) were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The homopolymers are soluble in aqueous solution and exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) that alternated reversibly in response to Ph and photoisomerization of the terminal azobenzene moiety. It was found that the LCST increased as pH decreased in the range of testing. Under UV light irradiation, the trans -to- cis photoisomerization of the azobenzene moiety resulted in a higher LCST, whereas it recovered under visible light irradiation. This kind of polymers should be particularly interesting for a variety of potential applications in some promising areas, such as drug controlled-releasing carriers and intelligent materials because of the multistimuli responsive property. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The copolymerization of N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate with various amounts (5 and 10 mol %) of dimethylmaleimidoethyl methacrylate in solution with 2,2,-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator is described. The structural and molecular characterization of the copolymers was performed with proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and ultraviolet spectroscopy, as well as size exclusion chromatography. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry were used for the thermal characterization of the copolymers. Micro- and nanohydrogels of the copolymers were prepared by photocrosslinking. The gels obtained by photocrosslinking were characterized with a combination of surface plasmon resonance and optical waveguide spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and scanning electron microscopy. The hydrogels showed temperature- and pH-responsive behavior. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The obtained salt was polymerized via free radical polymerization. The decomposition and foaming via iso -butene formation takes place by heating up to about 160,°C. IR, DSC, TGA, and GC/MS measurements were performed to follow this pyrolysis reaction. Furthermore, the copolymerization of 3 with N -isopropylacrylamid (NiPAAm, 5) was carried out with different monomer ratios. Molar mass distributions were measured using an asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (aFFFF) system. The obtained copolymers 6,10 exhibit lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behaviour in water with cloud points at different temperatures depending on the monomer ratio. [source] Novel Amphiphilic Degradable Poly(, -caprolactone)- graft -poly(4-vinyl pyridine), Poly(, -caprolactone)- graft -poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) and Water-Soluble DerivativesMACROMOLECULAR RAPID COMMUNICATIONS, Issue 9 2008Benjamin Nottelet Abstract New amphiphilic graft copolymers that have a poly(, -caprolactone) (PCL) biodegradable hydrophobic backbone and poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) or poly(2-(N,N- dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) hydrophilic side chains have been prepared by anionic polymerization of the corresponding 4VP and DMAEMA monomers using a PCL-based macropolycarbanion as initiator. The water solubility of these amphiphilic copolymers is improved by quaternization, which leads to fully water-soluble cationic copolymers that give micellar aggregates in deionized water with diameters ranging from 65 to 125 nm. In addition, to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL- g -P4VP, grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments has been carried out to give a water-soluble double grafted PCL- g -(P4VP;PEG) terpolymer.
