Abstract

Abstract : This study is the first report of the synthesis and self-assembly in water of an amphiphilic PVDF- b -PVA block copolymer. 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 1 H NMR and FTIR. The self-assembled nanoparticles were characterized by DLS and cryo-TEM.
