Abstract

The combination of various living techniques for the controlled polymerisation of monomers exhibiting different propagation pathways has attracted particular interest over the previous decade. This has been driven by the increasing demand for block copolymers that can self-assemble into micellar structures in water or other solvents. These polymers have particular importance for the pharmaceutical industry as potential drug carriers or controlled release vehicles. 1 ...
