Chemical Communications, 50(65), 9145-9148. doi: 10.1039/C4CC03363A1359-7345http://hdl.handle.net/10919/51698RAFT polymerization afforded acrylic ABC triblock copolymers with self-complementary nucleobase-functionalized external blocks and a low-Tg soft central block. ABC triblock copolymers self-assembled into well-defined lamellar microphase-separated morphologies for potential applications as thermoplastic elastomers. Complementary hydrogen bonding within the hard phase facilitated self-assembly and enhanced mechanical performance.application/pdfapplication/pdfen-USCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 UnportedReversible addition-fragmentation chain polymerizationPolymer self-assemblyArticle - Refereedhttp://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2014/cc/c4cc03363ahttps://doi.org/10.1039/C4CC03363A
