Amphiphilic segmented polymer networks (SPNs) have been prepared by free radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with alpha,omega-bisacrylate terminated poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline). DSC and DMTA analysis demonstrated the influence of the copolymer composition, the molecular weight and nature of the poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline)s and the polymerization conditions on the final phase morphology of the networks. A comparative phase morphology study of the polymer blends and SPNs revealed the more compatible phase morphology of the networks. The compatibility could be further increased by UV-induced network formation. The investigation of the solvent uptake in different solvents clearly demonstrated the amphiphilic nature of the SPNs.
