Amphiphilic block copolymers were prepared with a variety of controlled radical polymerization techniques, including RAFT and ATRP. Length of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic block were adjusted to determine optimum dispersion of various hydrophobic nanomaterials. The prepared water-borne dispersions were subsequently utilized for a wide variety of applications.
