Abstract

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has been employed for the synthesis of an amphiphilic diblock copolymer MeOPEO-b-PBMA. The macroinitiator was prepared by poly(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether with 2-Bromoisobutyryl bromide. The amphiphilic diblock copolymer was obtained by the macroinitiator and monomer n-Butyl methacrylate (BMA). The block copolymer was characterized by means of proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The honeycomb-patterned polymer films was obtained by the breath figure method. Water contact angle measurements revealed that a hydrophobic surface is obtained. The amphiphilic polymers expected to the application as the hydrophobic materials.
