Abstract
Amphiphilic block copolymer of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and polystyrene(St) was prepared under ultrasonic irradiation. The PSS fragment radicals created during the degradation process was used to initiate the polymerization of styrene(St), and a diblock copolymer of poly(SS-b-St) was obtained when the degradation of PSS and the polymerization of St occurred simultaneously. The block copolymers underwent self assembly in aqueous solution, and formed stable nano micelles with diameters of 95–128 nm. The influence of ultrasonic irradiation on the formation of the block copolymers and micelles were investigated.
