ABSTRACT
New amphiphilic, watersoluble triblock polymers containing a lipophilic and a fluorophilic segment, bridged by a hydrophilic block, were synthesized and their phase behavior was studied in detail. From viscosity studies, fluorescenic and 19F-NMR spectroscopy it could be shown that those compounds aggregate. Depending on the composition of the triblock copolymers, micelle formation can either start with the lipophilic or with the fluorophilic part of the compound and continue until a micellar network of fluorophilic and lipophilic micelles, linked via hydrophilic segments, is formed.
