Abstract
Water‐soluble amphiphilic block copolymers consisting of a hydrophobic block of poly(alkyl methacrylate) and a hydrophilic anionic polyelectrolyte block have been synthesized by a living anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate and subsequent selective modification of the oxirane groups of the glycidyl methacrylate block into hydroxysulfonate groups by a phase transfer catalyzed sulfonation reaction. The block copolymers were characterized by a predictable motecular weight and a narrow molecular weight distribution while the yield was quantitative. These amphiphilic block copolymers display surfaceactive behavior in water and they are characterized by a critical micelle concentration.
