Stereocomplexation in novel degradable amphiphilic block copolymer micelles of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(benzyl [alpha]-malate)

The ring-opening polymerization of 5-(S)-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)methyl]-1,3- dioxolane-2,4-dione (l-malOCA) and 5-(R)-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)methyl]-1,3- dioxolane-2,4-dione (d-malOCA) from poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, macroinitiators using 4-methoxypyridine as the catalyst is reported. The self-assembly of...
