Synthesis and micellization of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(methylidene malonate 2.1.2.) diblock copolymers

Poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly‐(methylidene malonate 2.1.2.) diblock copolymers were prepared by anionic polymerization. They were characterized by SEC, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and DSC. Their micellization behavior was examined in aqueous medium. The micelle size, as determined by dynamic light scattering, could be correlated to the degree of polymerization of each sequence in agreement with existing theories.
