- block copolymers are able to form so called schizophrenic micelles in aqueous solution. Here, such polymers are prepared via nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP). In a first step nitroxide-terminated poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) was prepared with different molecular weights and narrow
- aqueous solution, the block copolymers form so called schizophrenic micelles. The hydrodynamic radius Rh of these micelles associated with pH values and temperature was analyzed by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Such kind of block copolymers has potential for many applications, such as controlled drug
- 2VP has been selected and the resulting polymer was used as a macroinitiator 2 (Scheme 1). Amphiphilic diblock copolymers undergo a self-assembly micellar process in solvents that are selective for one of the blocks [31]. By choosing selective conditions for each block, conventional micelles and so
