Description
Summary:Copolymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylates and allyl methacrylate have been synthesised by catalytic chain transfer polymerisation (CCTP) and reacted with α-keratin in human hair via Michael addition to cysteine residues. Further modification of the polymer conjugates was carried out using a fluorescent tag as a model via achieved thiol-ene chemistry. Reactive copolymers from catalytic chain transfer polymerisation (CCTP) have been utilised for conjugation to alpha keratin and for surface modification of human hair via thiol-ene Michael addition to cysteine residues.
