Design and synthesis of thermoresponsive degradable copolymers: integrating hydroxy-functional vinyl ethers with cyclic ketene acetals

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Degradable copolymers with tunable thermoresponsive properties are synthesized via radical copolymerization of hydroxy-functional vinyl ethers and 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane, exhibiting LCST behavior in water and selective degradability.
