Summary
The diblock copolymers poly(10-hydroxydecanoic acid)-block-polystyrene (PHDA-b-PSt) were synthesized by combining enzymatic condensation polymerization of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (HDA) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene (St). PHDA was firstly obtained via enzymatic condensation polymerization catalyzed by Novozyme-435. Subsequently one end of poly(10-hydroxydecanoic acid) (PHDA) chains was modified by reaction with α-bromopropionyl bromide and the other was protected by chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCL), respectively, the resulting monofunctional macroinitiator was used in the ATRP of St using CuCl/2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) as the catalyst system to afford the diblock copolymers including biodegradable PHDA blocks and well-defined PSt blocks.
