- Abstract:
- The cloud point of copolymers of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline and
2-n-propyl-2-oxazoline could be tuned from 25 1C to 100 1C
by varying molecular weight and composition; the reversibility
and concentration dependence of the cloud points were evaluated
to assess the potential of these copoly(2-oxazoline)s as alternatives
to poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).
