Abstract
A novel copolymer (PG‐PNIPAM) composed of polyglycerol (PG) as core and poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) as arms was prepared by the radical addition‐fragmentation transfer polymerization (RAFT) of NIPAM in the presence of PG with multi‐trithiolcarbonate groups (PG‐TTC). The results showed that the RAFT polymerization was controllable and nearly all trithiolcarbonates groups on PG took part in the polymerization. The final PG‐PNIPAM copolymer showed a thermally dependent hydrophobic/hydrophilic transition around 28–30°C.
