Molecular parameters of the synthesized polymers: copolymer composition poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA)/2-(((2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethoxy)carbonyl)oxy)ethyl methacrylate monomer (MTZ), conversion, number average molecular weight (Mn) determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and polydispersity index (PDI) determined by GPC.
