Chemical Structure-Dependence of the Thermal Transition in Thermoresponsive Ethylene-Glycol-Containing Polymers as Characterized by EPR Spectroscopy

Abstract

Front Cover: For thermoresponsive ethylene-glycol-containing polymers, EPR spectroscopy enables, from the point of view of a co-solute spin probe (TEMPO, white fish), the detection of the early onset of the thermal transition. It is systematically elucidated how the thermal transition depends on the end groups and the length of the length of main chain and side chain (blue, red and orange fish). More details can be found in article 2500050 by Dariush Hinderberger and co-workers.
