Abstract:
A novel block copolymer consisted of MACIT and HCO segments was synthesized via ROMP in the ionic liquid [bmim][PF6] with good control over the polymerization process. The molecular weight of the block copolymer was estimated by 1H NMR, and the molar composition ratio of repeating units in the MACIT block to those in the HCO block was 100:120 (120:120 in feed). The micellar characterization was carried out by DLS, AFM, and TEM. The hydrodynamic diameter of the micelles, measured by DLS, was 129 ± 0.09 nm with a narrow distribution (PDI = 0.034). The TEM image showed spherical micelles.
