✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Thermoresponsive poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)/dextran hybrid particles were formed by surface‐initiated, aqueous atom transfer radical polymerization via the attachment of a polymerization initiator onto dextran microspheres and polymerization of N‐isopropylacrylamide. The resulting hybrid particles were about 250 μm in diameter, and showed thermoresponsiveness: the average diameter changed from 273 μm to 214 μm when the temperature was increased from 25 °C to 40 °C (22% decrease).

## Abstract **Summary:** Monodisperse thermosensitive PS‐NIPA core‐shell particles composed of a PS core and a cross‐linked PNIPA shell can be successfully synthesized by a novel method: photoemulsion polymerization. Cryo‐TEM images indicate clearly the core‐shell morphology of the PS‐NIPA particle
Atom transfer radical polymerization has been used to prepare well-defined vinyl macromonomers of polystyrene using vinyl chloroacetate as an initiator. Because styrene and vinyl chloroacetate do not copolymerize, no branching or incorporation of the initiator into the backbone was observed. Macromo
