Abstract

Narrowly dispersed hydrophilic block and random copolymers of acrylic acid and N-isopropylacrylamide of various compositions and molecular masses are synthesized for the first time by controlled radical polymerization via the reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer mechanism. The copolymers are used for the synthesis of ternary copolymers with n-butyl acrylate. As shown by dynamic light scattering, the resulting amphiphilic copolymers can form stable dispersions in diluted aqueous solutions. It is found that the effective hydrodynamic radii of dispersion particles may be controlled via variation both in the primary structure of the ternary copolymer, i.e., the amount and sequence of hydrophilic and hydrophobic units, and in the external stimuli, i.e., the temperature and pH of a solution.
