The polymerization of acrylamide has been investigated in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) in methanol/water using redox initiation. The resulting polymer is a hydrogen-bonded polycomplex of poly(ethylene glycol) and polyacrylamide. The poly(ethylene glycol) influences the rate of polymerizatio

β¦ Synopsis
Polymerization of acrylamide was studied in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol)s 200 and 400 (PEG) in two diluents, viz. water and methanol, using ammonium persulphate as radical initiator. The polymers prepared in methanol, in general, were of lower intrinsic viscosity than those obtained from an aqueous medium. All the polymers occluded PEG, resulting in a substantial improvement in solubility of polyacrylamide. The extent of occlusion depends on the initial concentrations of PEG in the reaction mixture. NMR and i.r. of the polymers reveal that some molecules of PEG or segments of PEG chains are closely bound to the polyacrylamide backbone. No significant changes in thermal properties were found.

Heterogeneous radical polymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) in benzene in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) was studied. The products of the polymerization are the interpolymer complexes of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) with PEG and PVP. In spite of th
Polymerization of acrylamide using Ce(IV) with poly(ethylene glycol) having azo and hydroxyl functions, was carried out to yield acrylamide-(ethylene glycol) block copolymers with labile azo linkages in the main chains. These prepolymers were used to induce the radical polymerization of acrylonitril
A new mucoadhesive polymer was prepared by template polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). FTIR results indicated that a polymer complex was formed between poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and PEG through hydrogen bonding. The hydrogen bonding in the PAA/PEG polymer c
## Abstract A new mucoadhesive polymer complex was prepared by the template polymerization of acrylic acid with poly(ethylene glycol) macromer (PEGM) as a template polymer. Fourier transform infrared results showed that the poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)/PEGM mucoadhesive polymer complex was formed by hy
