Abstract:
There is described a block copolymer comprising at least a block [A] and a block [B], where: (a) (i) block [A] comprises from 5 to 95 mole-% per mole-% of the block [A] of itaconate functional moieties; (b) (i) block [B] is substantially free of itaconate functional moieties. Preferably the block copolymer is made by a controlled radical polymerisation (CRP) such as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT).
