Abstract
The “click” modification of statistical poly[2‐(isopropyl/3‐butenyl)‐2‐oxazoline] copolymers with ω‐functionalized thiols can be used to generate a toolbox of thermo‐responsive polymers. The cloud points of the polymers can be finely tuned over a wide range as a function of composition and hydrophilicity of the side chain (hydrocarbon, alcohol, carboxylic acid, etc.). Glycopolymers can be prepared exhibiting predictable cloud points in the whole accessible temperature range for water. magnified imageKeywords
