Water-Soluble Polymers. 81. Direct Synthesis of Hydrophilic Styrenic-Based Homopolymers and Block Copolymers in Aqueous Solution via RAFT
Abstract
Homopolymers of sodium 4-styrenesulfonate have been synthesized directly in aqueous media by reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). The resulting homopolymers have narrow molecular weight distributions, with polydispersity indices in the range 1.12−1.25, as determined by aqueous size exclusion chromatography. Using a dithioester-capped sodium 4-styrenesulfonate homopolymer as a macro chain transfer agent, a block copolymer with sodium 4-vinylbenzoate has been prepared in aqueous media. Additionally, a block copolymer of ( ar -vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride with N, N -dimethylvinylbenzylamine has been synthesized, using the same methodology. We believe these represent the first examples of AB diblock copolymers prepared directly in aqueous media via the RAFT process. Both block copolymers are stimuli-responsive and undergo reversible pH-induced micellization in aqueous solution. Micelles with hydrodynamic diameters in the range 18−38 nm were observed by dynamic light scattering.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
