Synthesis, Hydrophilicity and Micellization of Coil-Brush Polystyrene-b-(polyglycidol-g-polyglycidol) Copolymer-Comparison with Linear Polystyrene-b-polyglycidol.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, an original method of synthesis of Coil-Brush amphiphilic polystyrene-b-(polyglycidol-g-polyglycidol) (PS-b-(PGL-g-PGL)) block copolymers was developed. The hypothesis that their hydrophilicity and micellization can be controlled by polyglycidol blocks architecture was verified. The research enabled comparison of behavior in water of PS-b-PGL copolymers and block-brush copolymers PS-b-(PGL-g-PGL) with similar composition. The Coil-Brush copolymers were composed of PS-b-PGL linear core with average DP_n of polystyrene 29 and 13 of polyglycidol blocks. The DP_n of polyglycidol side blocks of coil-b-brush copolymers were 2, 7, and 11, respectively. The copolymers were characterized
