Abstract A heteroarm core cross-linked star (CCS) polymer is a subset of star polymers where two different polymer arms are covalently joined to a densely cross-linked core. Because the covalent connectivity prevents rearrangement of the polymer arms, it has been speculated that intramolecular segregation of the different polymer arms within the heteroarm CCS polymer would be difficult. Here we will explore how synthetic routes to the heteroarm CCS polymer influences on the intramolecular segregation behavior. We will monitor solution and bulk behaviors of heteroarm CCS polymers synthesized via different routes including “in-out” and “multimacroinitiator” methods, and rationalize the differences in terms of degree of intramolecular segregation.
