Abstract
Summary: A novel ABC triblock copolymer with a rigid‐rod block was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). First, a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)‐Br macroinitiator was synthesized by esterification of PEO with 2‐bromoisobutyryl bromide, which was subsequently used in the preparation of a poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(methyl methacrylate) (PEO‐b‐PMMA) diblock copolymer by ATRP. A poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(methyl methacrylate)‐block‐poly{2,5‐bis[(4‐methoxyphenyl)oxycarbonyl]styrene} (PEO‐b‐PMMA‐b‐PMPCS) triblock copolymer was then synthesized by ATRP using PEO‐b‐PMMA as a macroinitiator.
