A novel zinc(II) tetraaminophthalocyanine ended block copolymer methoxypolyethylene glycol-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (MPEG-b-PNIPAAM-ZnTAPc) had been synthesized through an easy way. First, the diblock copolymers MPEG-b-PNIPAAM were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and...
