Chemical structures of the atactic amphiphilic diblock copolymers and pendant drop analysis of the polymers in diethylbenzene (DEB). An inverted pendant drop is utilized, because DEB is less dense than the buffer. Having copolymers dissolved in the DEB lowers the DEB-buffer interfacial tension, which indicates that the diblock copolymers are surface active.
