Novel barbwire-like graft polymers PEO-g-PCL4 were synthesized by combination of ring opening polymerization (ROP) and Glaser coupling with thiol–yne addition reaction via the “grafting from” strategy.

A series of well-defined dumbbell shaped copolymers consisting of PEO and PS segments were successfully synthesized by LAP and ROP mechanisms and the efficient thiol-ene addition reaction. This versatile synthetic route might be used to synthesize other similar copolymers.

AbstractFor the purpose of increasing the hydrophilicity of polylactide, new block copolymers with protected functional groups, poly(lactide-co-(S)-b-benzyl aspartate)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(lactide-co-(S)- b-benzyl aspartate), were synthesized via ring-opening polymerization of D,L-lactide and (3S, 6R,S)-3- [(benzyloxycarbonyl)methyl]-6-methylmorpholine-2,5-dione in the presence of hydroxyltelechelic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as an initiator at 140 °C for 24 h. The benzyl protective groups of the block copolymers were completely removed to give poly(lactide-co-(S)-aspartic acid)-PEO-poly(lactide-co-(S)-aspartic acid), (poly(DLLA-co-Asp)-b-PEO-b-poly(DLLA-co-Asp)). This shows lower crystallization and melting temperature compared with the polymers before deprotection. Poly(DLLA-co-Asp)-b-PEO-b-poly(DLLA-co-Asp) with 55.6 wt.-% of PEO is more hydrophilic, shows higher water absorption and is degraded faster than with 39.5 wt.-% of PEO.
