Synthesis of ATRP-induced dextran-b-polystyrene diblock copolymers and preliminary investigation of their self-assembly in water.
Dextran-b-polystyrene diblock copolymers forming miscellaneous spherical self-assemblies in water were obtained by chemical modification of the anomeric extremity of a commercial dextran followed by atom transfer radical polymerisation of styrene.
