Abstract
A pH-responsive amphiphilic poly(L-alanine acrylamide)-block-poly( methylmethacrylate (PAAla-b-PMMA) diblock copolymer biohybrids, based on hydrophilic PAAla and hydrophobic PMAA segments, is developed via direct switching from atom transfer radical polymerization. EbiB was used to mediate RDRP of a DL-alanine derived monomer, AAla, yielding a series of (PAAla-b-PMAA)-The copolymer's stimuli response has been assessed against pH. The translation of this structure into a synthetic polymer was the aim of this investigation. The copolymer is capable of switching between its among zwitterionic, anionic and cationic forms and this copolymer is capable of removal of toxic dye from wastewater. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of dye removal but also contributes to the development of eco-friendly and recyclable materials for water purification applications.
