Atom transfer radical polymerization of protected 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA-TMS) was conducted to prepare well-defined bromo-terminated macroinitiators
which were further allowed to react with large excess amount of C60 under ATRP condition.A well-defined hammer-shaped C60-PHEA was then obtained by hydrolysis of C60-PHEA-TMS under mild conditions.A TEM observation of the association behavior of these well-defined hammer-like C60-PHEA macromolecules showed that they assemble into spherical vesicles in water.Their characteristic inner water phase was further confirmed by fluorescence probe method.Also
it was found that the size of vesiclesdecreased as the increase of molecular weight of PHEA.
