Stimuli-responsive polymers have been of research interests due to their potential in many applications such as integrated optical devices, sensors and drug delivery agents. Especially, polymers which can respond to multiple stimuli have been of challenge because the polymers can show various self-assembly behavior by different stimuli. In this study, well-defined rod-coil block copolymers containing azobenzene moieties in rod block and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethyl methacrylate (MEO2MA) and oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl methacrylate (OEGMA) in coil block were synthesized. Through the controlled polymerization, polymers with controlled molecular weights and polydispersity were produced. The rod-coil type block copolymers are expected to display light-responsive behavior and various temperature-responsive behaviors by differentiating amount of coil moieties. Self-assembly behavior and stimuli-responsive behavior of polymers in aqueous solution will be presented. |
