Popis: Two polystyrene-based amphiphilic diblock copolymers, PS(x)-PV(y) and PS(x)-PA(y) (where PS(x)-PV(y) and PS(x)-PA(y) possess poly[(ar-vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride] and poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) blocks, respectively, and x and y are the degrees of polymerization), were prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization to investigate their formation of reverse micelles in less polar organic media. Theoretical analysis using light scattering data indicated that PS(x)-PV(y) formed star-like micelles at x/y>6 and brush-like micelle micelles at x/y
