## Abstract The thermo‐adjustable hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of AB, ABA and BAB block copolymers in which A is poly(methyl vinyl ether) (PMVE) and B is poly(isobutyl vinyl ether) (PIBVE) have been investigated. The block copolymers were prepared by “living” cationic polymerization using seq

## Abstract Linear and crosslinked copolymers of a vinyl ether of ethylene glycol (2‐hydroxyethyl vinyl ether, (1)) and butyl vinyl ether (2) are synthesized by α‐irradiation polymerization. It is shown that the linear copolymers exhibit a phase separation phenomenon in dependence of the temperatur
The polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone (epsilon-CL) was initiated by the terminal alcohol of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) as an initiator via activated ring-opening polymerization in the presence of HCl. Et2O as a monomer activator. The molecular weights of the poly(epsilon-caprolactone)
The melting temperature of the gels of the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ethylene glycol (EG) system was measured. It was found that the temperature was independent of the thermal hysteresis. The apparent enthalpy of the fusion of the junction, DH, was 206 kJ/mol for a high molecular weight atactic PVA
## Abstract **Summary:** Novel hydrophobic comonomer (__p__‐methacrylamido)acetophenone thiosemicarbazone was synthesized and polymerized with __N__‐isopropylacrylamide to get a series of amphiphilic copolymers. The self‐aggregation behavior and thermo‐sensitive character of the (co)polymers were c
