One-step Copolymerization Modified Magnetic Nanoparticles Via Surface Chain Transfer Free Radical Polymerization

摘要

Copolymer brushes growing onto magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by surface chain transfer free radical polymerization. Block copolymer brushes (P(PEGMA)-co-PNIPAAm) consist of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA) and iV-isopropylacrylamide monomer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterized the chemical composition of copolymer. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) suggested that the amount of copolymer on magnetic nanoparticles decreased with increasing azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The saturation magnetization decreased significantly with increasing P(PEGMA)-co-PNIPAAm. The thermosensitive point is about 43 ℃ for magnetic nanoparticles with 33.8% P(PEGMA)-co-PNIPAAm.
