Using nitroxide-mediated polymerization, propose a synthetic route for the amphiphilic block copolymer: poly(acrylic acid)-b-(polystyrene). Provide suggested reaction conditions (solvents, temperature, etc.) and draw explicit structures for all reagents used in your synthesis approach. Show the mechanism for each step (either within your scheme or separately). Likely, more than one route exists – provide an approach you find most reasonable.
