主 题:Cyclopolymerization Macromolecular brush Fluorescence quenching DNA
摘 要:Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macromolecular brushes were synthesized directly via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization cyclopolymerization of diacrylate monomers bearing PEG functional groups through the formation of 11-member rings. The diacrylate monomers bearing PEG functional groups are the 1,2,3-triazole-tethered diacrylate macromolecular monomers with di erent PEG lengths synthesized via the so-called “click chemistry. The bulky hindrance of PEG chains affected the polymerization behavior of the diacrylate macromolecular monomers, and the diacrylate monomers showed strong tendency to cyclopolymerization rather than crosslinking. NMR analysis and gel permeation chromatography profiles proved the high efficiency of cyclopolymerization without side reactions. The aqueous solutions of the obtained PEG macromolecular brushes were fluorescent under UV excitation. The fluorescence depended dramatically on the concentration of brush-like polymers due to the aggregation of cyclopolymer in water, and could be quenched by the addition of DNA.
