Thermoreversible UCST-type phase behavior of comb-like poly(N-phenyl maleimide-co-n-octadecyl vinyl ether) in organic media

Thermoresponsive functional polymers based on 2,6-diaminopyridine motif with tunable UCST behaviour in water/alcohol mixtures

Two thermoresponsive polyacrylamides based on the 2,6-diaminopyridine motif were synthesized and their UCST-type reversible thermoresponsive behaviour was studied in water/alcohol mixtures.

Unimolecular branched block copolymer nanoparticles in methanol for the preparation of poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles

Unimolecular branched polymer nanoparticles are formed in methanol via a simple thermal annealing process, which can be used to produce aqueous drug nanoparticle suspensions.

Is methanol really a bad solvent for poly(n-butyl methacrylate)? Low dispersity and high molecular weight polymers of n-butyl methacrylate synthesised via ATRP in anhydrous methanol

Anhydrous methanol, a traditional precipitant for poly(n-butyl methacrylate), has been shown to be an excellent synthesis solvent using ATRP, generating high molecular weights and low dispersities (up to 76 000 g mol⁻¹ and as low as 1.02).
