The binary vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at the pressure of 101.3 kPa, which are 3,3-dimethyloxetane + methyl cyclohexane and 3-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol + methyl cyclohexane, have been measured using a modified Rose vapor-recirculating equilibrium still. The reliability of VLE data was verified by thermodynamic consistency of area test of Herington and point test of Van Ness. The experimental data were regressed with activity coefficient models of Wilson, nonrandom two-liquid, and UNIQUAC, respectively, and the corresponding binary interaction parameters were obtained using the maximum likelihood method. The root-mean square deviations between calculated and experimental data for the vapor phase molar fraction and equilibrium temperature were less than 0.0119 and 0.58 K, which indicated that the fitted results for the three models were within acceptable limits.
A novel oxazolidine based acid-labile monomer N -acryloyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidine (ADMO) was synthesized and polymerized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using poly(ethylene glycol) based chain transfer agent (PEG-CTA). The diblock copolymers PEG- b -PADMO were composed of hydrophilic PEG with fixed length and hydrophobic PADMO with different lengths, which formed core-shell micelles in water. Morphologies and sizes of micelles were obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), which showed that the shapes of polymeric aggregates developed from small spherical micelles, worm-like micelles to larger size of vesicles, as the length of PADMO increased. The hydrolysis kinetics of the micelles was studied using 1 H NMR, DLS and release of loaded Nile Red dye, whose rate strongly depended on pH and micellar structure . It led to the disruption of polymeric micelles and concomitant release of the guest molecules, due to the transformation of hydrophobic PADMO into hydrophilic poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) (PHEAM).
