Abstract

Phenanthrene α-end-labeled poly (N-decylacrylamide-bN, N-diethylacrylamide)(PDcAn-b- PDEAm) block copolymers consisting in a highly hydrophobic block (n= 11) and a thermoresponsive block with variable length (79≤ m≤ 468) were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. A new phenanthrene-labeled chain transfer agent (CTA) was synthesized and used to control the RAFT polymerization ...
