A new set of block copolymers containing poly(methyl vinyl ether) (PMVE) on one hand and poly(tert-butyl acrylate), poly(acrylic acid), poly(methyl acrylate) or polystyrene on the other hand, have been prepared by the use of a novel dual initiator 2-bromo-(3,3-diethoxy-propyl)-2-methylpropanoate. The dual initiator has been applied in a sequential process to prepare well-defined block copolymers of poly(methyl vinyl ether) (PMVE) and hydrolizable poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA), poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) or polystyrene (PS) by living cationic polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), respectively. In a first step, the Br and acetal end groups of the dual initiator have been used to generate well-defined homopolymers by ATRP (resulting in polymers with remaining acetal function) and living cationic polymerization (PMVE with pendant Br end group), respectively. In a second step, those acetal functionalized polymers and PMVE-Br homopolymers have been used as macroinitiators for the preparation of PMVE-containing block copolymers. After hydrolysis of the tert-butyl groups in the PMVE-b-ptBA block copolymer, PMVE-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PMVE-b-PAA) is obtained. Chain extension of the AB diblock copolymers by ATRP gives rise to ABC triblock copolymers. The polymers have been characterized by MALDI-TOF, GPC and 1H NMR.
