Synthesis of multifunctional acrylic copolymers for chemical-biosensors: Synthesis of multifunctional acrylic copolymers

Abstract

Functional acrylic copolymers of linear molecular architecture and different molecular weights based on -SO3H and -OH groups containing monomers were successfully synthesized via AGET ATRP in mixed solvents medium and characterized by NMR, SEC. The polymers could find different applications as stimuli-responsive modifiers to prepare high sensitive sensor surfaces. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
