Thermo-responsive butyl acrylate/furfuryl methacrylate copolymer-based (PBF backbone) graft (co)polymers with dynamic covalent linkages between their backbones and side chains via the Diels-Alder reaction of furan/maleimide were synthesized. Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to synthesize graft copolymers with thermo-responsive transformation from graft copolymers to linear polymers with bimodal or wide MWD. The NMR measurements indicated that the Diels-Alder reaction and retro-Diels-Alder reaction occurred, depending on the change of the temperature, meaning that the side chains could be cleaved and reformed according to the variation of the temperature. GPC measurements demonstrated that the molecular weights of the polymers were thermo-responsive. Furthermore, three graft copolymers with various branching chains (PBF-g-PBA, PBF-g-P(BMA-co-MA) and PBF-g-PBMA) were compared to study the influence of compatibility between the backbone and the branching chain on the efficiency of Diels-Alder reaction after the cleavage of the DA linkage. The results showed that the ability of the side chains to come back to the main chain was strongly affected by the compatibility between the backbone and the side chains and the flexibility of the polymer chains.
