Amphiphilic diblock and ABC triblock methacrylate copolymers: synthesis and aqueous solution characterization

Thermoresponsive terpolymers based on methacrylate monomers: Effect of architecture and composition

“…Table 1 shows the M w s and compositions of the copolymers and their precursors as measured by GPC and 1 H‐NMR, respectively. The MWDs were reasonably narrow with polydispersity indices (PDIs) below 1.2, typical for linear block copolymers prepared with GTP 33–37. All the number‐average M w s, M n s of the block copolymers were higher than the respective homopolymer precursors and no unreacted monomers were detected, as it can be seen in Figure 2, which shows the GPC chromatograms of the triblock copolymer DMAEMA 30 ‐ b ‐PEGMA 9 ‐ b ‐BuMA 13 and its two precursors.…”

Synthesis and pH-dependent micellization of diblock copolymer mixtures

“…Expectedly, a PMMA core was surrounded by a binary shell of PDMAEMA and PMAA chains. These authors also investigated how PDMAEMA-b-PMMA-b-poly(hexa(ethylene glycol)methacrylate) triblock copolymers behave in water, the third PHEGMA block being a nonionic hydrophilic polymer [21]. It must be noted that a linear triblock copolymer, with three different constitutive blocks may exist as three topological isomers (ABC, ACB and BAC), which has a deep effect on the self-assembly in selective solvents [22].…”

Multi‐Compartment Unimolecular Micelles from (ABC)n Multi‐Arm Star Triblock Terpolymers

“…The solution properties of ABC triblock terpolymers have recently attracted much attention because of the novel nanostructured self-assemblies formed in selective media. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Particular emphasis has been given to the so-called multi-compartment micelles [26,27] comprising more than two hydrophobic non-centrosymmetric compartments [28][29][30][31] or core-shell-corona centrosymmetric structures. [32][33][34][35] The present work aims to combine the linear ABC triblock terpolymer structure with the star architecture (Scheme 1).…”
