Abstract

This paper describes the synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers composed of an ionic poly(styrenesulfonate) first segment and a hydrophobic polystyrene second one, using TEMPO-mediated “living” radical polymerization. These copolymers proved to be efficient stabilizers in the emulsion polymerization of styrene.
