Abstract
A series of star-shaped poly(acrylamide-co-[2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride) were prepared by inverse microemulsion polymerization. The growth of side chains in the arms of the precursor has been carried out using different compositions of the comonomers acrylamide and [2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride) (Q9). The characterization and star structure were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance, FTIR, MALDI-TOF and DSC. The dimensions of the particles were determined by quasielastic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Quasi-spherical particles of star polymers in the nanozise range were obtained which might be useful for the controlled transport and release of several biologically active drugs.
