Abstract
Poly(2-(difluoromethoxy)ethyl acrylate), synthesized via ATRP, made it possible to obtain amphiphilic block copolymers that can self-assemble into spherical micelles quite easily. The monomer used, 2-(difluoromethoxy)ethyl acrylate (DFMOEA), presents great potential to lead the development of new advanced materials with partially fluorinated segments, since it is easy to be synthesized an…
