The monomer 3‐ethyl‐1‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone ( 3 ) and the homopolymer poly(3‐ethyl‐1‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone) ( 5 ) have been synthesized. Polymer 5 is soluble in water and shows a critical temperature ( T c ) of 27 °C. The presence of cyclodextrin causes a slight shift of the T c . The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) could be varied between 27 and 40 °C by copolymerization with N ‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone. A linear correlation between the T c and the copolymer composition is observed.
