We try to clarify some issues that were raised by an article that appeared in Soft Matter, 2016, 12, 7995. PNIPAM cononsolvency is not due to the bridging mechanism of MeOH molecules; it is caused by geometric-energetic frustration.

Combination of nuclear magnetic resonance, dynamic light scattering, and μs long all-atom simulations of 2 million particles reveal that the PNIPAm collapse in aqueous methanol mixtures is driven by enthalpy and the reopening at higher mole fractions of methanol is entropy driven.

ABSTRACTGelatin functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) has been shown to allow crosslinking by photopolymerization and metathesis reaction. However, side chain functionalization of gelatin might reduce triple helicalization, which influences mechanical properties of gelatin-based polymer networks. Here, the influence of glycidylmethycrylation of gelatin on the chain organization, swelling, and mechanical properties is investigated by comparing among each other physical gels prepared from GMA-gelatin solutions of different concentrations (5-20 wt.-%) by drying and rehydration. An increase of GMA-gelatin concentration from 5 wt.-% to 20 wt.-% led to an increased density of produced gelatin films and a decreasing water uptake of the films from 1160 wt.-% to 730 wt.-%, while the storage modulus was increasing about one order of magnitude from 440 Pa to 4090 Pa. The relative single and triple helix content was not influenced by the variation of polymer concentration.

Application Scope

The combination of controlled radical polymerization (CRP) reactions and click chemistry offers high potential for the preparation of multifunctional polymers and significantly broadens the application scope of functional soft matter materials. In order to demonstrate the strategies as well as the potential of this methodology combination, examples for end-group and side-chain modification of polymers produced by CRP methods and the use of the resulting materials in functional polymer films are given.
