Polymer networks were prepared by Steglich esterification using poly(sorbitol adipate) (PSA) and poly(sorbitol adipate)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) mono methyl ether (PSA-g-mPEG12) copolymer. Utilizing multi-hydroxyl functionalities of PSA, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was first grafted onto a PSA backbone. Then the cross-linking of PSA or PSA-g-mPEG12 was carried out with disuccinyl PEG of different molar masses (Suc-PEGn-Suc). Polymers were characterized through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The degree of swelling of networks was investigated through water (D2O) uptake studies, while for detailed examination of their structural dynamics, networks were studied using 13C magic angle spinning NMR (13C MAS NMR) spectroscopy, 1H double quantum NMR (1H DQ NMR) spectroscopy, and 1H pulsed field gradient NMR (1H PFG NMR) spectroscopy. These solid state NMR results revealed that the networks were composed of a two component structure, having different dipolar coupling constants. The diffusion of solvent molecules depended on the degree of swelling that was imparted to the network by the varying chain length of the PEG based cross-linking agent.

A poly[(phenylene vinylene)-co-dibenzocyclooctyne] polymer prepared by Wittig polymerization chemistry between dibenzocyclooctyne bisaldehyde [DIBO-(CHO)2] and bis(triethyleneglycol)phenylbis(tributylphosphonium) dibromide is reported. The resulting polymer exhibits moderate molecular weight (Mn: 10.5 kDa, Mw: 21.3 kDa, Ð: 2.02) and is fluorescent. It could be readily functionalized by strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloadditon with different azides, and fluorescence of the polymer was preserved after functionalization. Grafting azide-terminated 5 kDa poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether chains drastically affected the solubility of the polymer. Cross-linking the polymer with poly(ethylene glycol) that was terminated at both ends with azide groups gave access to a fluorescent organogel that could be dried and reswollen with water to form a hydrogel.

This paper investigates the transesterification of methyl 3-mercaptopropionate (MP-SH) with tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEG)s catalyzed by Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) without the use of solvent (in bulk). The progress of the reactions was monitored by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. We found that the reactions proceeded in a step-wise manner, first producing monothiols. TEG-monothiol was obtained in 15 min, while conversion to dithiol took 8 h. Monothiols from PEGs with Mn = 1000 and 2050 g/mol were obtained in 8 and 16 h, respectively. MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry verified the absence of dithiols. The synthesis of dithiols required additional fresh CALB and MP-SH. The structure of the products was confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Enzyme catalysis was found to be a powerful tool to effectively synthesize thiol-functionalized TEGs and PEGs.
