Abstract:

A novel thermo-sensitive β-cyclodextrin pendent poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PnipamCD) was prepared, which had a higher lower critical solution temperature(LCST) than that of pure poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM). In its aqueous solution, spherical micelles were obtained as temperature increased rapidly while hollow vesicles were obtained as temperature increased slowly. In addition, rod-like aggregates were achieved in acetone, a selective solvent of PNIPAM.

Key words: β-Cyclodextrin-containing polymer; Thermo-sensitivity; Self-assembly
