Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a kind of useful method for synthesis of block copolymers. The block copolymers of poly(styrene)-block-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PtBMA) were synthesized by ATRP method. Then the amphiphilic block copolymers of poly(styrene)-block-poly- (methyl acrylic acid) (PS-b-PMAA) were obtained by hydrolysis from PS-b-PtBMA copolymers in HCl solution. Furthermore, the copolymer products were characterized by using GPC, FTIR and 1H NMR. Various factors that influence micellization of amphiphilic block copolymers and their morphologies were investigated by using the dynamic laser light scattering and transmission electron microscope. The formation mechanism of the micelle was investigated. It was found that the hollow spherical micelles were obtained by only controlling the length ratio of hydrophilic block PMAA to hydrophobic block PS.

Key words: atom transfer radical polymerization, amphiphilic block copolymer, micellization, hollow spherical micelle
