Thermo-Responsive Starch-g-(PAM-co-PNIPAM): Controlled Synthesis and Effect of Molecular Components on Solution Rheology

A series of highly branched random copolymers of acrylamide (AM) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) have been prepared from a waxy potato starch-based macroinitiator by aqueous Cu0-mediated living radical polymerization (Cu0-mediated LRP). The NIPAM intake in the copolymer was varied between 0% and 5...
