A synthetic route toward a new family of amphiphilic mPEG‐b‐PMCL‐b‐PDMAEMA triblock copolymers is reported. Chemical structures and compositions are confirmed by 1H NMR and SEC. Polydispersity indices are typically <1.4, indicating good control of the reactions. The physicochemical parameters associated with mPEG‐b‐PMCL‐b‐PDMAEMA self‐assembled structures are investigated. Nanoparticles are prepared via a co‐solvent method, and parameters such as nanoparticle $\overline {M} _{{\rm w}} $, Nagg, A2, and Rh are calculated based on static and dynamic light scattering data. Critical aggregation concentrations for the polymers are determined by measuring surface tensions of polymer solutions. TEM is employed to visualize the morphology of the assemblies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
