Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(methylidene malonate 2.1.2.) diblock copoly mers were prepared by anionic polymerization. They were characterized by SE C, H-1 NMR spectroscopy and DSC. Their micellization behavior was examined in aqueous medium. The micelle size, as determined by dynamic light scatter ing could be correlated to the degree of polymerization of each sequence in agreement with existing theories.
