We report the synthesis of a novel pH-responsive amphiphilic block copolymer poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-block-poly(pentafluoro styrene) (PDMAEMA-b-PPFS) using RAFT-mediated living radical polymerization. Copolymer micelle formation, in aqueous solution, was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy, static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). DLS and SLS measurements revealed that the diblock copolymers form spherical micelles with large aggregation numbers, N-agg approximate to 30 where the dense PPFS core is surrounded by dangling PDMAEMA chains as the micelle Corona. The hydrodynamic radii, R-h of these micelles is large, at pH 2-5 as the protonated PDMAEMA segments swell the micelle Corona. Above pH 5, the PDMAEMA segments are gradually deprotonated, resulting in a lower osmotic pressure and enhanced hydrophobicity within the micelle, thus decreasing the R-h. However, the radius of gyration, R-g remains independent of pH as the dense PPFS cores predominate.
