Poly(behenyl methacrylate)-stabilized diblock copolymer nanoparticles are prepared in mineral oil via polymerization-induced self-assembly. Such nanoparticles are colloidally stable at 50 °C but undergo reversible crystallization-driven aggregation at 25 °C.

Diblock copolymer spheres, worms and vesicles are prepared via RAFT dispersion polymerization of benzyl methacrylate in either mineral oil or a poly(α-olefin) using polymerization-induced self-assembly; an efficient ‘one-pot’ protocol is reported for spheres at 30% solids in mineral oil.

AbstractAmphiphilic diblock copolymer poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PMMA-b-PAA) was prepared by 1,1-diphenylethene (DPE) method. Firstly, free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate was carried out with AIBN as initiator in the presence of DPE, giving a DPE-containing PMMA precursor with controlled molecular weight. tert-Butyl acrylate (tBA) was then polymerized in the presence of the PMMA precursor, and PMMA-b-PtBA diblock copolymer with controlled molecular weight was prepared. Finally, amphiphilic diblock copolymer PMMA-b-PAA was obtained by hydrolysis of PMMA-b-PtBA. The formation of PMMA-b-PAA was confirmed by 1H NMR spectrum and gel permeation chromatography. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering were used to detect the self-assembly behavior of the amphiphilic diblock polymers in methanol.
