Abstract

The regularities of formation of the structure of amphiphilic network copolymers on radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and polyester dimethacrylate are investigated. The kinetic laws of the consumption of functional groups and the increase in the gel content during formation of a crosslinked product are studied. It is shown that the synthesis of crosslinked amphiphilic copolymers proceeds via competing reactions of N-isopropylacrylamide homopolymerization and its copolymerization with polyester dimethacrylate. With the excess of the monofunctional monomer, a homogeneous rubber-like network copolymer is formed, whereas the excess of the bifunctional reagent results in the morphological inhomogeneity of the reaction product.
