These homopolymers contain ethoxy groups, and the end substituents are pyrrolidine, piperidine, N-methylpiperazine, morpholine and thiomorpholine, respectively. The effects of different heterocyclic substituents on the responsiveness of temperature, pH and CO2 were studied. For temperature-response, it was found that the lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type cloud point (CP) temperature decreased as the number of carbon atoms increases, while the solubility of the polymers changed greatly with the introduction of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur atoms. And the CP of the polymers can be adjusted by molecular weight, concentration and salt. Furthermore, some of these polymers present upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in alcohols. For pH-response, the initial pH of the polymer solution is different, their critical pH changed accordingly, and is affected by temperature; in addition, changing the pH of solution can also affect the CP. For CO2-response, all of the polymers were completely soluble after pumping with CO2, and their LCST behavior recovered after N2 was pumped in, but there was a gap with the initial CP. The study of these properties reveals the influence of different heterocyclic substituents on the responsiveness of polymers, which is of great significance for understanding the stimulation response properties of polymers and provides ideas for the design of new stimuli-responsive polymers. 收起
