TY - JOUR A1 - Buller, Jens A1 - Laschewsky, André A1 - Lutz, Jean-Francois A1 - Wischerhoff, Erik T1 - Tuning the lower critical solution temperature of thermoresponsive polymers by biospecific recognition T2 - Polymer Chemistry N2 - A thermosensitive statistical copolymer based on oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates incorporating biotin was synthesized by free radical copolymerisation. The influence of added avidin on its thermoresponsive behaviour was investigated. The specific binding of avidin to the biotinylated copolymers provoked a marked increase of the lower critical solution temperature.
