Abstract

AbstractNovel, monodispersed, and well‐defined ABA triblock copolymers [poly(dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate)–poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate)] were synthesized by oxyanionic polymerization with potassium tert‐butanoxide as the initiator. Gel permeation chromatography and 1H‐NMR analysis showed that the obtained products were the desired copolymers with molecular weights close to calculated values. Because the poly(dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate) block was pH‐ and temperature‐sensitive, the aqueous solution behavior of the polymers was investigated with 1H‐NMR and dynamic light scattering techniques at different pH values and at different temperatures. The micelle morphology was determined with transmission electron microscopy. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
