This paper describes our recent developments of block and graft copolymers prepared by the cationic ringopening polymerization of 2-oxazolines. First, the mechanistic aspects of polymerization are mentioned, in which terms of "electrophilic and nucleophilic polymerizations" are proposed. Then, prepa

Abstract
Summary: Commercial poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (SAN) and poly(butadiene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (NBR) were functionalized with oxazoline groups through a reaction with 1,3‐aminoethylpropanediol (AEPD). Each of the two products, along with a third commercial poly(styrene‐co‐vinyl oxazoline) copolymer, went through a reaction with methyl triflate producing stable oxazolinium salts. The products were subsequently used as macroinitiators for the ring‐opening cationic grafting of 2‐methyl and 2‐phenyl oxazoline to produce poly(N‐acylethylenimine) grafts. The products were characterized by FT‐IR, ^1^H NMR and elemental analysis. The grafted fraction varied from 10 to 55 wt.‐%. The monomer units grafted onto each oxazolinium pendant group varied from 3 to 23 depending on the oxazoline substitution and concentration. The results show, firstly, that controlled and reproducible levels of poly(N‐acylethylenimine) grafts can be incorporated and, secondly, that since these results are general, they are thus applicable to a wide variety of nitrile‐containing polymers.
