A range of water-soluble hyperbranched poly(ester amide)s has been synthesized with a view to studying their
thermoresponsive behavior in water. Poly(ester amide)s with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values around
physiological temperatures are of interest for biological and medical applications, whereas poly(ester amide)s with high
LCST values may be useful as kinetic hydrate inhibitors for high salinity produced fluids in the oil and gas industry. The
LCST of these polymers was measured as the optical cloud point. The LCST can be tuned in various ways for these
applications, for example, by varying the hydrophobicity of the groups on the cyclic anhydride monomer or by adjusting
the hydrophilicity of the imine used to make the peripheral groups of the polymer.
