title: Synthesis and aqueous solution properties of a well-defined thermo-responsive schizophrenic diblock copolymer.
abstract: We report only the second example of a thermo-responsive 'schizophrenic' diblock copolymer surfactant: unlike the original (meth)acrylamide-based example reported by Laschewsky and co-workers (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2002, 124, 3787), this new methacrylate-based diblock copolymer is near-monodisperse, readily synthesized in high yield and exhibits a broad temperature range between the two micelle transitions.
