Two novel double hydrophilic multiblock copolymers of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and N-isopropylacrylamide, m-PDMA p -PNIPAM q , with varying degrees of polymerization (DPs) for PDMA and PNIPAM sequences (p and q) were synthesized via consecutive reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) p...
