Molecular weight and particle size distribution were measured by a combination of analytical techniques for the microemulsion polymerization of n-butyl methacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate, n-hexyl methacrylate, and styrene. The data support the prediction of an analytical model derived from monomer partitioning and kinetic studies, which is described in accompanying papers (13, 20).

Lyotropic mesophases of poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(butadiene) diblock copolymers and their cross-linking to generate ordered gels. Macromolecules 1999;32:5803-9. Highly ordered polymer gels with lamellar, hexagonal, or cubic order were obtained by cross-linking of a reactive block copolymer in the lyotropic state. The order was retained through drying, heating, and addition of polar and nonpolar solvents. Extensive characterization was performed by X-ray scattering, microscopy and electron microscopy. A detailed analysis of the block copolymer structures, disclinations and transition states was presented in a following paper [115].
