Novel pH- and thermoresponsive amphiphilic diblock copolymer, comprising hydrophilic poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate) (PDMAEA) and amphiphilic poly(styrene-grad-2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate) (P(S-grad-DMAEA)) blocks, was synthesized by nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization. A series of copolymers (PS-grad-PDMAEA) with controlled molar masses and low dispersities over a wide range of monomer feed ratios (0 < fS,0 < 1) were synthesized. Both conventional linearization and nonlinear least-squares methods were applied to estimate reliable values of the reactivity ratios for S and DMAEA radical polymerization. The calculated values of the reactivity ratios (rDMAEA = 0.25 and rS = 1.15) perfectly fitted the drift in monomer feed ratio versus conversion, showing a gradient distribution along the copolymer chains. The self-assembling behavior of the copolymers in the aqueous medium was investigated by dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering over a wide range of pH, temperature, and sal...
