| Abstract | Two series of random copolymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylate (OEGPhA) with either oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (OEGMeA) or oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMeMA) with varying molar fractions of OEGPhA comonomer, comparable molecular weights (∼14 kg mol−1) and low molecular weight distributions (1.19–1.36) were prepared by the RAFT process. In aqueous solution copolymers exhibited a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) which decreased linearly with an increasing content of phenyl ethers. In a similar trend of decreasing solubility, the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) of the OEGMeA/OEGPhA series in 2-propanol increased linearly from 11.8 °C to 73.6 °C for (co)polymers containing from 0 to 71 mol% of OEGPhA units. Variable temperature NMR measurements in 2-propanol-d8 performed on a diblock copolymer containing a p(OEGMeA-co-OEGPhA) block and a soluble p(dimethyl acrylamide) block revealed the phenyl ethers to remain solvated to a large extent at temperatures 30 °C below the cloud point of the p(OEGMeA-co-OEGPhA) block. The effect of the phenyl groups decreasing solubility in alcohols was attributed to a promotion of favourable polymer–polymer interactions and a decreased contribution to mixing entropy due to rigidity. For high OEGPhA content a phase diagram in ethanol–water mixtures showed cononsolvency in the LCST regime (high water content) followed by a miscibility gap. The UCST regime, showing a solubility maximum at approx. 80 vol% ethanol extended to ethanol concentrations as low as 55 vol%. UCST transitions in intermediate ethanol–water mixtures, unknown for OEGMe(M)A homopolymers, are believed to increase the applicability of non-linear PEG analogues. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
