Polymeric Capsules Prepared by in Situ Synthesis and Cross-Linking of Amphiphilic Copolymer by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

A technique for encapsulation of polar organic solvents using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) by suspension polymerization was developed to encapsulate diphenyl ether (solubility parameter δ = 20.9 MPa1/2) for the first time. An amphiphilic terpolymer was prepared by suspension polymerization, by first preparing poly(methyl methacrylate-co-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate), P(MMA-co-PegMA), oligomers in solution conditions, …
