Methyl
methacrylate (MMA, 99%), ethyl methacrylate
(EMA, 99%), n-butyl methacrylate (BMA, 99%), n-hexyl methacrylate (HMA, 99%), DMAEMA (99%), and MAA (99.5%)
were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Gillingham, U.K.) and were passed
through a basic alumina column to remove inhibitor prior to polymerization.
2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA, 98%) was purchased from Alfa Aesar
(Heysham, U.K.), and its inhibitor was removed using an alumina column.
Isopropanol (IPA, 99.9%), triethanolamine (TEA, 99%), 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric
acid) (ACVA), 1,4-dioxane (99.5%), trimethylsilyldiazomethane solution
(2.0 M in diethyl ether), benzyl bromide (BzBr, 98%), and deuterated
acetone were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) and deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d6) for NMR spectroscopy measurements were purchased from
VWR (Lutterworth, U.K.). Deionized water was obtained using an Elgastat
Option 3A water purifier (Elga, High Wycombe, U.K.). 4-Cyano-4-(2-phenylethanesulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanylpentanoic
acid (PETTC) used for RAFT polymerization was prepared and purified
in-house, as reported previously.35 (link) Unless
stated otherwise, all materials were used as received.

Chemicals [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (METAC, 75 wt.% in H2O), 3sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium (SPMAK, 98%), 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (98%), 1,4-butane sultone (BS, ≥99%), 4-cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl] pentanoic acid (CDPA, 97%), allyl methacrylate (AMA, 98%), n-butyl methacrylate (n-BMA, 99%), 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS, 95%), 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE, ≥99%), pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) (PETMP, ≥95%), 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (ACVA, ≥98%), potassium chloride (KCl, 99.5%), potassium thiocyanate (KSCN, 99%), potassium bromide (KBr, 99%), lithium chloride (LiCl, 99%), and cesium chloride (CsCl, 98%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Denmark. N,N-Dimethylformamide (≥99.9%), diethyl ether (≥99.9), toluene (≥99.8), and acetonitrile (≥99.9) were received from VWR Chemicals BDH and passed through activated basic aluminum oxide (Brockman I, Sigma-Aldrich) before use to remove any inhibitors. Zwitterionic monomer N-(2-methacryloylxyethyl)-N,N-diemthylammonium butanesulfonate (MABS) was prepared beforehand using the procedure reported in a previous study. 32 (link) Ultrapure water (Sartorius Arium Pro; 18.2 MΩ⋅cm) was used for preparing aqueous salt solutions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
