Summary

Star-shaped block copolymers PCL-b-PMMA and PCL-b-PSt were successfully synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) on the basis of hydroxyl-terminated cyclotriphosphazene. The star-shaped PCL was synthesized by bulk polymerization of ε-caprolactone with hydroxyl-terminated cyclotriphosphazene initiator. Star-shaped PCL was converted into a macroinitiator via esterification with 2-bromopropionyl bromide. Star-shaped block copolymers could be obtained by ATRP of methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St). The molecular weight of these star-shaped block copolymers could be adjusted by the variation of monomer conversion.
