Poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (POx) is well known thermoresponsive polymer, which exhibits a rapid reversible hydrophilic-hydrophobic interconversion through the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Narrow molecular weight distributions of POx can be achieved by cationic living polymerization of oxazoline monomer. More importantly, we can readily introduce various end functional groups to the imitation or termination ends owing to the living polymerization process. We can utilize functional initiators to introduce specific functional groups at initiation end. Alternatively, termination end can be easily modified by treating with functional nucleophile to the living cationic terminal. In this symposium, we are going to report details of our recent research on multimodal stimuli responsive POxs. |
