Amphiphilic block polymers (2,3) composed of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or poly(oxyethylene) (POE) and chain length controlled poly(styrene) (PSt) have been prepared by using a catalytic system of tribromomethyl-terminated oligomer and manganese carbonyl. All the amphiphilic materials formed well-behaved surface monolayers, and the II-A curves for them expanded systematically with an increase of the PSt chain length.
