Shape-shifting thermoreversible diblock copolymer nano-objects via RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate
Keyword(s):
RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (HBA) affords shape-shifting thermoresponsive diblock copolymer nano-objects. 1H NMR studies suggest that such behavior involves uniform plasticization of the PHBA block.
