An amphiphilic graft copolymer with poly(acrylamide-methacrylate) as a main chain and octylphenyl polyoxyethylene as side chains (P(AM-MA)-g-C8PhEO10) was successfully synthesized via free radical copolymerization. The structure and the composition of the graft copolymer were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis (EA) in detail. The absolute molecular weight of the copolymer is 1.304×106, as determined by static light scattering (SLS). The molar ratio of acrylamide monomer to the macromonomer is 33:1 in the copolymer and 53 C8PhEO10 branch chains attach to a P(AM-MA) backbone. The micellar behavior of P(AM-MA)-g-C8PhEO10 was preliminarily studied by means of surface tension measurements, transmission electron microscope (TEM) in aqueous solution. It was found that the stable spherical micelles with core-shell structure are formed and polymolecular micelles are larger and more compact than monomolecular micelles. In addition, the graft copolymer has favorable thermal stability.

The use of the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) in copolymer synthesis has received much interest, as the microbial polyester segments can bring interesting properties, such as biodegradability and biocompatibility. The synthesis, properties, and applications of graft copolymers containing poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) as main chain or branches are reviewed here, with emphasis on the different preparation methods, which fit into the three main synthesis strategies of graft copolymers: “grafting onto”, “grafting from”, and “grafting through” or macromonomer methods.Key words: poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates), graft copolymer, synthesis, properties, applications.
