Abstract

Two kinds of phospholipid analogous compounds, methacrylate monomers (4a–b) and acrylamide monomers (5a–b), were prepared and polymerized with a radical initiator in water at room temperature. The viscosity behavior of these charged polymers were investigated in the presence or absence of inorganic salts, and the found inherent viscosity [η] of amide polymer (poly7a) is higher than those of ester polymers (poly6a1 and poly6b). On the other hand, the radical copolymerization of monomer 5b with acrylamide (AAm) was also carried out in water. Based on the x-ray analyses, it is proposed that some of the obtained polymers show ordered bilayer structures in condensed phase. Furthermore, the thermal properties were studied by DSC and TG-DTA measurements. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
