Abstract

Diblock copolymers with one block of poly [((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)-co- (glycidyl methacrylate)] P (DMAEMA-c-GMA) and another of poly (pentachlorophenyl acrylate)(PPCPA)(P (DMAEMA-c-GMA)-b-PPCPA) were synthesized via consecutive atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Electrospinnning of P (DMAEMA-c-GMA)-b-PPCPA from a solution in THF and DMF gave rise to microfibers with diameters in the range of 300 ...
