Abstract

One promising class of polymers are water soluble polymers which presents a polymer-based phase separation that is stimulus – sensitive. The tunable behaviour with respect to temperature and non-solvent concentration of poly(amidhydroxyurethane) is presented. The molecular architecture of studied polymer gives rise to a coil to micelle demixing scenario. Obtained results show that 37 °C particularly interesting for biomedical applications temperature can be achieved in specific conditions. Turbidimetric method was employed for obtaining the useful experimental parameter range..
