Abstract

This study is the first report of the synthesis and self-assembly in water of an amphiphilic PVDF-b-PVA block copolymer. The block copolymer was prepared by sequential RAFT polymerization of VDF and VAc followed by saponification of the PVAc block and was characterized by 1H NMR and FTIR. The self-assembled nanoparticles were characterized by DLS and cryo-TEM.
