Abstract: Styrene (St) and 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) were used as monomers to prepare a series of mPEG45-P(St-co-4VP)/P(St-co-4VP) polymer nano-objects of different morphologies in methanol/water at 70℃, mediated by binary mixture of mPEG45-DDMAT and DDMAT. Effects of[St]0/[4VP]0 molar ratio, degree of polymerization (DP) of the core-forming block,[mPEG45-DDMAT]/[DDMAT] molar ratio on the assemblies were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microcopy (SEM) and 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Key words: dispersion polymerization, polymerization-induced self-assembly, complex morphologies
