A series of near-monodisperse diblock copolymers of 2-(N-carbazolyl)ethyl methacrylate arid 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) of relatively low molecular weights (2600-24,000 g mol(-1)) were synthesized by group transfer polymerization using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent. The molecular weight distributions and compositions of all the copolymers were obtained using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in THF and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR) spectroscopy, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis provided low glass transition temperatures (T(g)s) of about 60 C and decomposition temperatures between 320 and 450degreesC for the copolymers, respectively. The three copolymers with the highest DMAEMA content were water-soluble below pH 7. Aqueous GPC at pH 3 showed that the water-soluble block copolymers formed micelles with apparent number average molecular weights above 100,000 g mol(-1).
