The synthesis and aqueous solution properties of copolymers comprised of N- vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and vinyl laurate (VL) with three different architectures is reported. By using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization, statistical, forced gradient, and block copolymers were synthesized with varying compositions and molecular weights. Surface tension, critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) and micelle size were determined, and related to copolymer composition, molecular weight and architecture. It was observed that more block-like polymer architectures produced from the block copolymerizations and forced gradient copolymerizations were likely to self-assemble in solution, indicating that the degree and placement of the hydrophilic (NVP) and hydrophobic (VL) monomer units are important in predicting solution behavior of such copolymers.

由共聚物的合成和水溶液性质Ñ-报道了具有三种不同结构的乙烯基吡咯烷酮（NVP）和月桂酸乙烯酯（VL）。通过使用可逆加成-断裂链转移（RAFT）聚合，可以合成具有不同组成和分子量的统计共聚物，强制梯度共聚物和嵌段共聚物。测定表面张力，临界胶束浓度（CMCs）和胶束尺寸，并与共聚物组成，分子量和结构相关。观察到，由嵌段共聚和强制梯度共聚产生的更多的嵌段状聚合物结构很可能在溶液中自组装，表明亲水性（NVP）和疏水性（VL）单体单元的程度和位置在溶液中很重要。预测此类共聚物的溶液行为。
