ABC or ACB triblock copolymers? Changing the RAFT group position in diblock copolymer macro-RAFT agents leads to different PISA behaviors in RAFT dispersion polymerization

Abstract

ACB and ABC triblock copolymer nanoparticles were prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization using diblock copolymer macromolecular RAFT (macro-RAFT) agents with different RAFT group positions.
