N2 - We have used nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and reversible addition-fragmentation-chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization for the preparation of block copolymers that have designed properties resulting from the specific functional groups present and their location along the polymer chain. In one specific system, we have synthesized block copolymers with alkyne-functional blocks as precursors for the preparation of cobalt nanoparticles by direct NMP, ATRP, or RAFT polymerization of alkyne-functional monomers or by the coupling of alkynes to polymers of 4-bromostyrene, which were prepared by NMP. A second system involves amphiphilic block copolymers designed to assemble into thermally responsive micelles in water that were prepared by ATRP and NMP from poly(ethylene oxide)-based macroinitiators. The synthesis and characterization of these and related block copolymer-based materials will be discussed.
