Abstract
A novel method is described for transforming an anionic polymerization process into a cationic polymerization process assisted by organosilyl groups. The reaction of the p‐tolyldimethylsilyl end group of polystyrene and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid produced a silyl triflate end group that served as a macroinitiator for the living cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether. The SiO linkage in the block copolymers underwent specific cleavage by reaction with tetrabutylammonium fluoride.

## Abstract **Summary:** The possibility of transforming a living anionic polymerization into a stable radical‐mediated radical polymerization (SFRP) was demonstrated. For this purpose, 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐__N__‐oxyl (TEMPO) alcoholate, formed by a one‐electron redox reaction between pota
## Abstract A novel glycopeptide‐containing block copolymer, poly[__O__‐(tetra‐__O__‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyl)‐L‐serine]‐__block__‐poly(2‐methyl‐2‐oxazoline) (5), was synthesized by mutual termination of living polymerizations of a sugar‐substituted α‐amino acid __N__‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) (1) an
A general method for the transformation of ''living'' carbocationic into ''living'' radical polymerization, without any modification of chain ends, is reported for the preparation of ABA block copolymers. For example, a,v-difunctional polyisobutene, capped with several units of styrene, Cl-St-PIB-St
