Reaktionsschritte

Poly(EA/MAA BDDA) microgel was prepared using seed-feed emulsion polymerisation (Macromolecules, 1994, 27, 6642). A monomer mixture containing Ethylacrylate (EA) (Aldrich, 143.5 g), Methacrylic acid (MAA) (Aldrich, 72.0 g) and 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BDDA) (Aldrich, 2.2 g) was prepared and 12.5% of the mixture added to a pre-purged, stirred, solution of sodium dodecylsulphate (BDH, 1.75 g in 500 g of water), which had been heated to 80° C. The monomers were passed over an alumina column prior to use. K2HPO4 (3 g of 7% solution in water) and ammonium persulphate (2.95 g of 5% solution in water) were immediately added whilst maintaining a nitrogen atmosphere. After appearance of a slight blue turbidity, the remaining monomer mixture was added at a continuous rate over a 90 min period. Additional initiator (3.3 g of 5% solution in water) was added and the temperature maintained for a further 2 h. The microgel was extensively dialysed against Milli-Q quality water. The average particle size of the particles in the collapsed state was about 65 nm. The swollen state diameter was about 220 nm at pH=7.4.
