제목 Comparison of Micelles Formed by Amphiphilic Star Block Copolymers Prepared in the Presence of HCl · Et2O as a monomer activator.
초록 Purpose. In this article, we describe the synthesis of PEG-b-polyester star block copolymers via ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ester monomers initiated at the hydroxyl end group of the core PEG using HCl•Et2O as a monomer activator. Results. Copolymers with a higher arm number had a higher tendency toward crystallization. The crystallinity of the PEG-b-polyester star block copolymers also depended on the nature of the polyester block. The CMCs of the PEG-b-PCL star block copolymers, determined from fluorescence measurements, increased with increasing arm number. Conclusions. A key aspect of the present work is that we successfully prepared PEG-b-polyester star block copolymers by a metal-free method. Thus, unlike copolymers synthesized by ROP using a metal as the monomer activator, our copolymers do not contain traces of metals and hence are more suitable for biomedical applications.
