Reaction of monomeric 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with sulphochlorides, such as e.g. toluenesulphonyl chloride, gives rise to asymmetrical ethylene esters which can be polymerized to beads possessing alkylating properties. In this procedure, a single precursor can be used to prepare a large variety of polymeric sorbents, catalysts, and the like.

Abstract The first step in obtaining of a specific polymer sorbent containing sulfur atoms was the synthesis of a functional monomer – 2,2′-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate (TEDM). Synthesis consists of the reaction of 2,2′-thiobisethanol with methacryloyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine in methylene chloride. The new poly(dimethacrylate)s materials containing sulfur atoms were synthesized in radical suspension polymerization. Homopolymerization of 2,2′-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate and its copolymerization with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or pentaerythritol tetraacrylate were carried out. The selection of synthesis conditions determines the parameters of the polymer structure and its properties. The presence of sulfur atoms in polymer chains resulted in specific donor-acceptor interactions, which can intensify sorption ability towards metal ions belonging to the group of soft acids. Therefore, the sorption properties of the obtained materials have been determined based on the recovery of precious metal ions, such as gold(III) and silver(I).

Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA)-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) copolymer microbeads (125-150,jm in diameter) were produced by suspension polymerization. The percent of HEMA incorporated and the swelling ratio of the non-porous microbeads produced were 12% and 22.7%, respectively. Microbeads, sterilized with ethylene oxide, were used in the embolization of the kidneys of three adult mongrel dogs by angiography. The effectiveness of the embolization was examined by angiographs after each step. In the first step of the embolization, the microbeads reached the pre-capillaries and blood flow was successfully blocked, which was confirmed by accumulation of the contrast agent within the kidneys. In angiograms after another injection, as the second step, again there were neither contrast agent movement toward the kidneys nor distribution through the paranchyme. The embolized kidneys were subjected to histopathologic examinations where pathological changes were observed.

The microsphere copolymer [poly(St-co-HEMA)] of monodispersed styrene and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) was synthesized by suspension polymerization. New type of hydrophobic microsphere was synthesized by surface grafting polylactic acid using the hydroxyl-terminated of poly (St-co-HEMA) as initiator. The microspheres’ structures and properties were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and thermogravimetric analysis. The results have demonstrated that the copolymer [poly(St-co-HEMA)] is a random copolymer. The volume of the polylactide which was grafted with the microspheres can be controlled by changing the amount of microspheres and hydroxyl in microspheres.

In cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT), improved efficiency of photosensitizer delivery to tumors may be obtained by binding them to targetable water soluble polymeric carriers. However, attachment of photosensitizers to Macromolecular carriers may alter their spectral and photosensitizing properties. In this study, a new monosubstituted phthalocyanine derivative, N-glycyl zinc(II) 4,9,16,23-tetraaminophthalocyanine (G-TAPC-Zn) was synthesized by the reaction of zinc(II) 4,9,16,23-tetraaminophthalocyanine (TAPC-Zn) with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-glycine N'-hydroxybenzotriazole ester followed by deprotection of the tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) group. G-TAPC-Zn contains an aliphatic amino group suitable for attachment to water soluble polymeric carriers. By aminolysis of a polymeric precursor, an N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer containing oligopeptide (GFLG) side-chains terminated in p-nitrophenyl ester groups, with G-TAPC-Zn a polymeric derivative of the latter (P-GFLGG-TAPC-Zn) was synthesized. Spectral data indicated that in aqueous solutions P-GFLGG-TAPC-Zn formed aggregates. The degree of aggregation decreased with increasing concentration of detergents or organic solvents in buffer solutions. Consequently, the release of the drug from carrier catalyzed by thiol proteinases, papain or cathepsin B, took place only in the presence of detergents or organic solvents, i.e., under conditions with a lower probability of aggregate formation. Binding of G-TAPC-Zn to HPMA copolymers decreased the quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation from 0.24 to 0.063 and significantly increased its resistance to photobleaching.
