Synthesis and self-assembly of high molecular weight polystyrene-block-poly[2-(N-morpholino)ethyl methacrylate]: A story about microphase separation, amphiphilicity, and stimuli-responsivity

The synthesis of polystyrene-block-poly[2-(N-morpholino)ethyl methacrylate] (PS-b-PMEMA) as a new highly amphiphilic and multiple stimuli-responsive block copolymer is presented. To achieve high molecular weights far beyond 100 kDa in a highly controlled manner (dispersities
