organosamarium (iii) catalyst 2 in THF for 2 h as described previously.[6] After a small aliquot (500 μL) had been taken from the reaction mixture, tert-butyl methacrylate (tBuMA) was added. After two more hours the polymerization was terminated by ethanol and the polymer 3-OtBu was precipitated. The sample was investigated by NMR spectroscopy, gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), light scattering, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Details of the synthesis and characterization procedures are given in the Supporting Information. The AFM image of the copolymer 3-OtBu is shown in Figure 1. Bright spots can be seen at the end of the cylindrical brush chains, which most probably originate from the collapsed p-tBuMA coil block (arrow1). Furthermore, homopolymer brushes can be seen (arrow 2), which clearly did not initiate a linear coil block. Additional evidence for the formation of block copolymers is given by NMR spectroscopy, which shows an increase in the ratio of the aliphatic to aromatic protons from 0.8: 1 to 0.87: 1. From these numbers the block-length ratio is calculated: DPn (PS-MM): DPn (ptBuMA)= 2.0. The degree of polymerization DPw of the
