Amphiphilic block and statistical copolymers of vinyl ethers (VEs) with pendant glucose residues were synthesized by the living cationic polymerization of isobutyl VE (IBVE) and a VE carrying 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucose (IpGlcVE), followed by deprotection. The block copolymer was prepared

✦ Synopsis
Amphiphilic block copolymers of vinyl ethers (VES) of the type -[CH2CH(OCH,CH,0 R)].
- [CH,CH(OiBu)]n -were synthesized by living cationic polymerization, where R is a I>-glucose residue, and m and n are the degrees of polymerization (m = 20-50; n = 11-89). To obtain them, sequential living block copolymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) and the vinyl ether carrying 1,2:5,6 -diisopropylidene-t) -glucose residue was conducted by using the HC1 adduct of IBVE, CH~CH(OLT3u)Cl, as initiator in conjunction with zinc iodide. These precursor block copolymers had a narrow molecular weight distribution (MW/ M" -1.1) and a controlled composition. Treatment of them with a trifluoroacetic acid/ water mixture led to the target amphiphiles. The volubility of the amphiphilic block copolymers in various solvents depended strongly on composition or the m/n ratio. Their solvent-cast thin films were observed, under a transmission electron microscope, to exhibit various microphage-separated surface morphologies such as spheres, cylinders, and lamellae, depending on composition.
