Abstract
Hexa-armed star block copolymers, s-[poly( l-lactide)- b-poly(styrene- co- N-acryloxysuccinimide)] 6 (s-[PLLA- b-poly(St- co-NAS)] 6) with triphenylene core have been successively prepared by the combination of ring-opening polymerization and atom transfer radical copolymerization, and they were used in the self-assembly in tetrahydrofuran, and the micelles with triphenylene core and PLLA as inner layer as well as poly(St- co-NAS) as shell were formed. After shell was cross-linked, PLLA was hydrolyzed in aqueous NaOH solution, the hollow spheres were formed. The structures, molecular weight and polydispersity index of the polymers were characterized by their 1H NMR and FT-IR spectra, as well as GPC. Their morphologies were studied by TEM. The influence factors on the formation of various morphologies are under investigation.
