Oligo(ethylene glycol) and quaternary ammonium-based block copolymer micelles: from tunable thermoresponse to dual salt response†
Abstract
P(St-g-QA)-b-P(MEO2MA-co-OEGMA) copolymers were synthesized by RAFT and click chemistry. The micelles self-assembled from the amphiphilic copolymers showed tunable thermoresponse through alteration of the molar ratio of MEO2MA and OEGMA. P(St-g-QA) and P(MEO2MA-co-OEGMA) segments both presented salt response.
