STShuya Tanaka MNMasanori Nagao HYHayato Yoshitake

Key Points

This research aims to explore the impact of polymerization on the antifreeze activity of zwitterionic monomers derived from amino acids.
Examined polymerizable zwitterionic monomers for ice recrystallization inhibition activity
Compared activity before and after polymerization
Ice recrystallization inhibition activity present in zwitterionic monomers, but lost after polymerization.

Abstract

Polymerizable zwitterionic monomers derived from amino acids exhibited ice recrystallization inhibition activity; however, this activity was lost upon polymerization into polymers.
