Research Abstract |
Effects of stereoregularity on the interaction between acrylamide polymers and water have been investigated by infrared(IR) spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance(QCM), and molecular mechanics(MM) calculations. The IR spectroscopy and QCM method have revealed that the interaction between the polymer side chain and water is modified by the change of stereoregularity of polymer, which is caused by the balance between the intramolecular interaction of polymers and solvation as revealed by MM calculations
