Novel amphiphilic diblock copolymers have been synthesised using Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerisation techniques. This presentation will discuss the synthesis, characterisation and assembly into micelles of these novel amphiphilic block copolymers and explore possible applications of such functional nanostructures.
