Summary: The bis‐hydrophilic block copolymer, poly(acrylic acid) 45 ‐ block ‐poly( N , N ‐diethylacrylamide) 360 , was obtained after hydrolysis of poly( tert ‐butyl acrylate) 45 ‐ block ‐poly( N , N ‐diethylacrylamide) 360 , synthesized by sequential anionic polymerization of tert ‐butyl acrylate ( t BA) and N , N ‐diethylacrylamide (DEAAm) in the presence of Et 3 Al. The polymer is stimuli‐sensitive with respect to both pH and temperature in aqueous solution, reversibly forming spherical crew‐cut micelles with PDEAAm‐core (〈 R h 〉 z = 21.5 nm) under alkaline conditions for T > 35 °C as well as inverse star‐like micelles with an expanded PAA‐core (〈 R h 〉 z = 43.8 nm) under acidic conditions for T < 35 °C, as indicated by dynamic light scattering.Modes of micelle formation for poly(acrylic acid) 45 ‐ block ‐poly( N , N ‐diethylacrylamide) 360 in aqueous solution depending on the pH and temperature.
