Homo- and copolymers based on N-substituted acrylamide:: Synthesis and their solution behavior

Homo- and copolymers based on hydrophilic (trisacryl) and hydrophobic (vinyl acetate) comonomers were synthesized. The formation of associates with inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds was discovered. It was demonstrated that selective interactions occur between high- and low-molecular-mass components of the polymerization mixture and that macromolecules pass through a set of conformational states, depending on the nature of the medium and the presence of acceptors of hydrogen bonds in the system.
