🧵 Based on an analogy with AAm/Sty copolymers that exhibit #UCST properties we managed to replace Sty by aromatic ring-containing CKAs (MPDL & BMDO) to obtain degradable, UCST copolymers

The UCST can be finely tuned by simply varying the amount of CKA in the copolymer. With BMDO, Tcp = 22-55°C, thus covering r.t. and the body temperature, and opening the door to biomedical applications 💊 #hyperthermia 2/9
