Abstract

Abstract New phospholipid analogous polymers were prepared by radical copolymerizations of 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-2-(trimethylammonio)-ethyl phosphate and poly(ethylene glycol)monomethylether methacrylates (PEGMM) at room temperature, using (NH4)2S2O8 as the initiator and pure water as the solvent. The copolymers obtained were characterized based on their IR, 1H-, and 13C-NMR spectral data and melting point measurements. The molecular weights of these copolymers decrease as the length of the PEGMM side chain increases. These new polymers, which contain phosphatidylcholine analogous groups in their side chains, show viscosity properties similar to typical polyelectrolytes.
