A unique synthesis of a well-defined block copolymer having alternating segments constituted by maleic anhydride and styrene and the self-assembly aggregating behavior thereof
Abstract
A unique synthesis of a well-defined block copolymer having alternating maleic anhydride(MAn)/styrene(St) segments and PSt segments was achieved via radical addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization and the self-assembly aggregating behavior of its hydrolyzed amphiphilic product in water was demonstrated.
