title: Glucose oxidase and glucose for redox-initiating the free radical copolymerization of N-(ferrocenoylmethyl)acrylamide in aqueous cyclodextrin solution.
abstract: The glucose oxidase and glucose mediated formation of amphipilic copolymers of N-(ferrocenoylmethyl)acrylamide (NFMA) and N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEA) in aqueous cyclodextrin solution is presented. Thereby, NFMA is not only a comonomer but also part of the redox initiation system. The obtained copolymers contain NFMA units between 1 and 10 mol%. The molecular masses of the copolymers are dependent on the ferrocene content, whereupon molecular weights between 38,000 and 71,000 g mol(-1) are achieved.
