Synthesis of Poly(stearyl methacrylate-b-3-phenylpropyl methacrylate) Nanoparticles in n-Octane and Associated Thermoreversible Polymorphism

Poly(stearyl methacrylate) (PSMA) homopolymers with average degrees of polymerization ([X with combining macron]n) ranging from 18–30 have been prepared by homogeneous RAFT radical polymerization in toluene and subsequently employed as macro-chain transfer agents (CTAs) in non-polar RAFT dispersion...
