%0 Journal Article %T Influence of cyclodextrin on the solubility and the polymerization of (meth)acrylated Triton X-100 %A Melanie Kemnitz %A Helmut Ritter %J Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry %D 2012 %I %R 10.3762/bjoc.8.245 %X Triton X-100 (poly(ethylene glycol) tert-octylphenyl ether) was (meth)acrylated and polymerized in the absence and presence of randomly methylated ¦Â-cyclodextrin (RAMEB-CD). Triton -polymers that were polymerized with RAMEB-CD in water were compared with polymers that were synthesized in organic solvents after the addition of RAMEB-CD. The polymers were characterized by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and turbidity measurements. Additionally, the viscosity change of the methacrylic homopolymer with RAMEB-CD was evaluated. %K (meth)acrylated Triton %K randomly methylated ¦Â-cyclodextrin (RAMEB-CD) %K rheology %K Triton X-100 (poly(ethylene glycol)tert-octylphenyl ether) %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.8.245
