Abstract

For the first time hydrophilic-hydrophobic block copolymers of styrene and methacrylic acid have been obtained through a radical mechanism. It is shown that the behaviour of the block copolymers in dioxan-ethyl alcohol solution differs from that of random copolymers of like composition. Curling of the individual blocks into globules in the block copolymer molecules is dependent solely on solvent composition, whereas curling of the random copolymer molecule is also dependent on the styrene content of the copolymer.
