Direct synthesis and aqueous solution properties of Y-shaped, stimulus-responsive block copolymer surfactants.
We report the direct synthesis of a wide range of well-defined, Y-shaped stimulus-responsive block copolymers under mild conditions; the aqueous solution behaviour of these new polymeric surfactants has been investigated.
