摘要: In this paper, we report the synthesis and self-assembly of a novel thermoresponsive PNIPAM60–b-PDMS70–b-PNIPAM60 triblock copolymer in aqueous solution. The used commercially available precursor modified with an atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator to produce ABA via ATRP. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was shed light on structures nanoparticles formed solutions at two temperatures, 25 40 °C. poly(dimethylsiloxane) block is very hydrophobic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) thermoresponsive. SANS data °C indicates that PNIPAM–b-PDMS–b-PNIPAM copolymers form well-defined aggregates presumably core–shell below cloud point temperature. curves originating from 100% D2O or H2O were successfully fitted Beaucage model describing hierarchical structure.
