Association Behavior of Poly (methyl methacrylate-b-methacrylic acid-b-methyl methacrylate) in Aqueous Medium
Yao, Jia; Palaniswamy, R.; Tam, Michael K. C.; Gan, L.H. (2004-01)ABA type tri-block amphiphilic polyelectrolyte consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate-block-methacrylic acid-block-methyl methacrylate) (P(MMA-b-MAA-b-MMA)) was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization technique ... -
Association Behavior of Poly(methacrylic acid)-block-Poly(methyl methacrylate) in Aqueous Medium: Potentiometric and Laser Light Scattering Studies
Palaniswamy, R.; Wang, C; Tam, Michael K. C.; Gan, L.H. (2003-01)Atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) technique was used to synthesize poly(methacrylic acid-block-methyl methacrylate) (P(MAA₁₀₂-b-MMA₁₀)) copolymer in order to study the aggregation behavior in aqueous solution ... -
Novel pH Responsive Amphiphilic Diblock Copolymers with Reversible Micellization Properties
Palaniswamy, R.; Dai, S.; Tam, Michael K. C.; Gan, L.H. (2004-01)Di-block copolymer of poly[methacrylic acid-block-2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] [P(MAA-b-DEA)] with narrow molecular weight distribution was synthesized using the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique. ... -
Rheological and Thermodynamic Properties of PEO-PPE-PEO and PAA-g-PEO-PPO-PEO System
Tian, Y.; Dai, S.; Tam, Michael K. C.; Bromberg, Lev; Hatton, T. Alan (2003-01)Rheological and thermodynamic properties of Pluronic F127 copolymer and Pluronic-g-PAA have been studied as a function of temperature and concentration. A combination of rheometry and DSC was employed to examine the gelation ... -
Stimuli Responsive Polymers for Enhanced Drug Release Applications
Tam, Michael K. C. (2004-01)This talk will focus on the development of polymeric nano-structured systems for drug and gene delivery applications. Two major classes of polymer systems will be considered; namely poly(ethylene-oxide-b-propylene-oxide- ... -
Titration Microcalorimetry Study: Interaction of Drug and Ionic Microgel System
Tian, Y.; Tam, Michael K. C.; Hatton, T. Alan; Bromberg, Lev (2004-01)Doxorubicin (DOX) and Pluronic-PAA interaction was investigated using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). DOX/polymer interaction is governed primarily by electrostatic interaction. The uptake of DOX results in the ...
