The ABA triblock copolymers consist of cationically polymerizable monomer (A), MOVE, and radically polymerizable monomer (B), NIPAM. The key to success in the triblock copolymerization is to utilize a dicarboxylic RAFT agent/SnBr4 initiation system for living cationic polymerization. The cationic polymerization was simultaneously initiated from two protons per one dicarboxylic RAFT agent. After the cationic polymerization, the polymerization was quenched and then the RAFT carboxylate counter anion was concurrently recovered at ca. 86% efficiency, followed by the RAFT polymerization. The resulting PMOVE-PNIPAM-PMOVE triblock copolymers contain two thermoresponsive blocks. The resulting block copolymers reversibly formed or deformed micellar assemblies in water. When the chain length of the core-forming block, PNIPAM, is increased, larger micelles were invariably obtained. The triblock micellar size was larger than that of the corresponding diblock micelle. The micelles at the concentrated solution formed physical gel, and the minimum gelation concentration of the triblock micelles was lower than that of the corresponding diblock micelles. 2014-06-16T09:26:15Z 2014-06-16T09:26:15Z 2013-02 Article Polymer (United Kingdom), vol. 54(3), 2013, pages 1043-1052 0032-3861 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0032386112010993 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/35579 en Elsevier Ltd.
