Water‐soluble graft copolymers were synthesized by copolymerization of acrylamide with mono‐methoxy‐poly(ethylene oxide)‐methacrylates (Me‐PEO‐MA). The Me‐PEO‐MA macromers were synthesized by a catalytic esterification of methacrylic acid with mono‐methoxy‐poly(ethylene glycol)s with different molecular weights. The graft copolymers obtained were characterized by 1 H‐NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and Ubbelohde viscosimetry. The rheological behaviour of aqueous polymer solutions, which are expected to show hydrophobic association at elevated temperatures, was studied with a cone and plate‐rheometer.
