Abstract

AB diblock copolymers of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl metharylate-block-potassiurn acrylate) were prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The structure of the block polymer was determined by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and the gel permeation chromatography. Moreover, it has also been shown that the diblock copolymers exhibit aggregate as function of the pH according to the result of 1H-NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR absorption spectra, UV-vis transmittance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and ultrasonic particle size analyzer. The result was attributed that such AB diblock copolymers were tailored to undergo pH-induced self-assembly. Furthermore, the aggregate can be as template of metal nanoparticles preparation, and the sizes of the aggregate, in turn, strongly control nanoparticle sizes.
