Abstract

New water-soluble macroalkoxyamines were synthesized via nitroxide-mediated controlled free-radical copolymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate with a low percentage of styrene and terpolymerization with methacrylic acid at a temperature below 80 °C. They were employed as macroinitiators for the synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers, either in bulk or in aqueous emulsion polymerization. In the latter process, PEG-coated, amphiphilic diblock copolymer micelles were generated in situ.
