Abstract

We prepared well-defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers comprising thermoresponsive segments and hydrophobic segments by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization. Terminal dithiobenzoate groups located at thermoresponsive chains were substituted with hydrophilic maleimede groups. Polymeric micelles were prepared by blend of heterogeneous end-functional diblock copolymers at any ratio in weight, and were characterized regading hydrodynamic diameters and thermoresponsive properties.
