The influence of small alkylamines with increasing carbon chain length (less than or equal to5) on the temperature-induced precipitation of two N-alkylacrylamide oligomers, poly-N-isopropylacrylamide [PNIPAAm; weight-average molecular weight (M-omega) = 1600 g/mol] and poly-N,N-diethylacrylamide (PDEAAm; M-omega = 4000 g/mol), from an aqueous solution was investigated. The alkylamines in question were too small to form micelles in the classical sense but were capable of premicellar aggregation. PNIPAAm was prepared by radical polymerization in the presence of a chain-transfer agent and, therefore, carried a carboxylic acid end group. The structure was heterotactic. PDEAAm was prepared by anionic polymerization and, therefore, carried a butyl end group. The structure was predominately isotactic. The solubility of the oligomers was investigated by cloud-point measurements and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, pyrene was used as a fluorescent polarity probe. Alkylamines up to C-2 depressed the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAAm, whereas higher alkylamines first depressed the LCST and at higher concentrations elevated it. The LCST minimum showed a clear dependence on the alkyl chain length and structure. For PDEAAm, only pentylamine addition resulted in an LCST minimum. Otherwise, the LCST was raised. When the critical self-association concentration (CSAC) of the alkylamines in water was compared to the critical association concentration (CAC) in aqueous oligomer solutions, PDEAAm, but not PNIPAAm, stabilized mixed aggregates (CAC < CSAC). The transition enthalpy of PNIPAAm decreased with an increasing alkylamine concentration and became 0 above the CAC. For PDEAAm, no transition endotherm could be recorded above an alkylamine concentration of 0.1 M.
