Fig. 1. (a) Normalized THF gel permeation chromatograms [against poly(methyl methacrylate) standards] obtained for the series of PBeMA37–PBzMAx diblock copolymers synthesized via RAFT dispersion polymerization of BzMA in mineral oil at 90 °C and 20% w/w solids. The precursor PBeMA37 macro-CTA (prepared in toluene at 70 °C and 50% w/w solids) is shown as a reference (black dashed curve). (b) Mnvs. PBzMA DP plot for the same PBhMA37–PBzMAx series, where the y-intercept represents the PBhMA37 macro-CTA. The solid line represents the theoretical evolution of Mn with PBzMA DP.
