Abstract
| - The new block amphiphilic copolymer, poly(sodium styrenesulfonate-block-vinylnaphthalene)(PSSS-block-VN), was synthesized by nitroxide-mediated “living” radical polymerization in homogeneoussolution. The composition of the copolymer was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy and elementalanalysis. On the basis of GPC, viscometric, and spectroscopic measurements, we proposed that thecopolymer adopts a highly compressed, pseudomicellar conformation in aqueous solution.
