Abstract.

We describe the synthesis and the characterization of amphiphilic triarm star block copolymers based on polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(ε caprolactone), poly(l lactide) and poly(ethylene oxide) blocks. This synthesis has been achieved by a new route consisting in 2 successive initiation steps on a core molecule (a 1,1-diphenyl-ethylene derivative bearing a protected hydroxy function) located at the end of a first block. Some results on adsorption onto TiO2 and micellization studies are given. Preliminary results on solid state indicate an increase of the miscibility of the different incompatible blocks.
