Abstract:Polystyrene-b-poly(polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate) (PSt-b-PPEGA) copolymers featuring pyrene and perylene as the Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) donor (denoted as D-BCP) and acceptor (denoted as A-BCP), respectively, were synthesized via the reversible addition and fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. These copolymers were then used to form DA-mixed micelles via a dialysis method. The micelles consisted of D-BCP (mole fraction f D = 0.04), A-BCP (f A = 0.04), and label-fr… Show more
