Synthesis of sharply thermo and PH responsive PMA-b-PNIPAM-b-PEG-b-PNIPAM-b-PMA by RAFT radical polymerization and its schizophrenic micellization in aqueous solutions
Sharply thermo- and pH-responsive pentablock terpolymer with a core-shell-corona structure was prepared by RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and methacrylic acid monomers using PEG-based benzoate-type of RAFT agent. The PEG-based RAFT agent could be easily synthesized by dihydroxyl-capped...
