A homopolymer of 2-(2'-methoxyethoxy(ethyl methacrylate (DM) dissolved inpure water demonstrated an abrupt increase in its turbidity at a critical temperature (LCST). Meanwhile, the LCST for a copolymer of DM and ω-methoxy(oligoethyleneoxy(ethyl methacrylate (PaM) (PDMP a M) significantly increased with increasing content of P a M residue. Furthermore, the addition of macrocycles such as hexasodium calix[6]arehexasulfonic acid (SCX 6 ), (DM-β-CD) changed the LCST, SCX6 raised the LCST significantly, DM-β-CD slightly raised the LCST and α-CD slightly lowered it. These phenomena could be attributed to the formation of an inclusion complex (polypseudorotaxane) at the grafted PEG chain of the copolymer. ROESY, fluorescence measurements and the visvosity behavior of the SCX 6 -PEG dimethylether (PEG-DME) mixture supported the theory of the complexation of SCX 6 with the PEG chain. The apparent association constants (K app ) of PEG-DME or grafted PEG with SCX 6 and α-CD were determined using fluorescence and UV-vis absorption measurements, respectively. The complexation of the SCX6-polymer conjugate with PDMPaM was also examined by time-evolution measurements of the turbidity. The effect of the structure of the guest and host molecules on the LCST for the copolymer was discussed in detail.
