Conclusions
A PEG macromer with methacryloyl and sulfonate group at the end of each chain was prepared and used for the radical copolymerization with butyl or PPG methacrylate. The resulting amphiphilic graft polymers were soluble in water and methanol, and dynamic light scattering measurements suggested the formation of nano-sized micelles in the aqueous medium.
