In this paper, a library of multi-functional linear poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (pNIPAm) polymers having a range of molecular weights and functional groups were synthesized and their interaction with the hemolytic peptide, melittin, was examined.

The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization of N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) was performed using either S-benzyl-S-(benzyl propionate) trithiocarbonate (CTA 1) or N, N-diethyl-S-(alpha,alpha'- dimethyl-alpha ''-acetic acid) dithiocarbamate (CTA 2) as a chain transfer agent (CTA). The polymerizations were controlled processes that yielded polymers with high conversion (>60%), controlled molecular weights that were close to the theoretical values and a narrow molecular weight distribution (minimal value: 1.13). The cloud point temperatures of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) were measured by turbidimetry and shifted to lower temperature and concentrations as the hydrophobicity of the end groups and the molecular weights of the polymers increased.

A new class of ionic liquid-containing triblock copolymers have been prepared viaRAFT polymerization of the imidazolium methacrylate monomer using a telechelic fluoropolymer as the macro-chain transfer agent. It is found that the anionic counterion has a direct impact on the thermal properties, ionic conductivity and segmental dynamics of the polymers. The temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity is well described by the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher model, suggesting that ion motion is closely coupled to segmental motion.
