Vinyl ether polymers with imidazolium or pyridinium salt pendants underwent sensitive lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase separation in organic media. Well-defined poly(salts) were quantitatively prepared by reaction with corresponding imidazoles or pyridines and poly(2-chloroethyl vinyl ether), which was synthesized by living cationic polymerization. For example, a solution of the homopolymer with butyl imidazolium salts exhibited a sharp and reversible transition in chloroform upon heating. Sensitive phase separation was also observed in nonpolar solvents, such as toluene, ethyl acetate, THF, containing a small amount of a good solvent, such as 1-butanol (10-15 wt %). The dependency of the salt structures, molecular weight, and the concentration on this behavior was demonstrated. The cleavage of the hydrogen bond is a key factor in this phase separation, as indicated by DSC and H-1-NMR measurements. On increasing the temperature, the interaction between the polymer pendant and the solvent became weaker, hence the pendant-pendant interaction was, in turn, induced through the counter anion.
