A new kind of water-soluble polymer was obtained by grafting side chains, characterized by
a phase separation on heating (Lower Critical Solution Temperature LCST), on a …

Novel thermo-associative water-soluble polymers (PAVD) have been prepared by
copolymerizing N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) with various amounts of sodium 2-acrylamido-2 …

A thermally induced associative polymer was developed by grafting lower critical solution
temperature side chains onto a water-soluble backbone. Based upon the thermodynamic …

Copolymers composed of acrylamide (AM), N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), and a
hydrophobic monomer, either N, N-dihexylacrylamide (DHAM) or N, N-dioctylacrylamide …

In various industrial fields, water soluble polymers are commonly used as thickening agents
to control the reology of aqueous fluids. Nevertheless, their properties are weakened as the …

Abstract new family of thermoassociative graft copolymers has been recently synthesised
using a two‐step procedure. Schematically, their structure combines a weak polyelectrolyte …

The synthesis of thermoassociative water-soluble copolymers, with polyether as pendant
chains, was developed by macromonomer copolymerization and grafting techniques. The …

A novel thermo-thickening hydrophilic copolymer (CGBA) was prepared by free-radical
copolymerization of sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (NaAMPS) with a …

In this paper, the linear and nonlinear rheological behavior of semidilute aqueous solutions
of a recently synthesized thermoassociative graft copolymer was investigated, as a function …

A series of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)-acrylic acid–ethyl methacrylate terpolymers with
varied monomer compositions was prepared by radical polymerization. The solution …
