Static (SLS) and dynamic (DLS) light scattering were used to study the solution behavior of copolymers with different compositions by Photocor Complex instrument (Photocor Instruments Inc., Moscow, Russia). The light source was the Photocor-DL diode laser with the wavelength λ = 659.1 nm and controllable power up to 30 mW. Procedure was described early [33 (link)].
As is known, the behavior of amphiphilic polymers in solutions strongly depends on the thermodynamic quality of the solvent with respect to the components. Therefore, the choice of solvents for research is an important task. As can be seen fromTable 1 , the blocks of the considered brushes (MI, PtBMA, PMAA) dissolve in different ways in the solvents we have chosen.
The synthesized precursors and molecular brushes (PB, APB), were molecularly dissolved in chloroform. Therefore, their molar mass characteristics were determined in chloroform (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA)
The molar mass of the PF macroinitiator were measured in chloroform, which is a thermodynamically good solvent for PF.
