Multi-stimuli responsive block copolymers as a smart release platform for a polypyridyl ruthenium complex

Abstract

An efficient protocol for the preparation of poly(<italic>N</italic>,<italic>N</italic>-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)(PDMAEMA)-based multi-stimuli responsive block copolymers (BCPs) with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)<italic>via</italic>anionic polymerization protocols is presented.
