## Abstract Poly(2‐alkyl‐2‐oxazoline)s having an acrylate group at both chain ends were synthesized by terminating living bifunctional poly(2‐methyl‐2‐oxazoline) or poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline) with acrylic acid. These macromonomers have been polymerized to the corresponding polyoxazoline networks. Th

✦ Synopsis
Ring-opening polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline initiated by 2-@-nitrobenzenesulfonato)ethyl methacrylate follows the so-called "living mechanism", i. e. fast initiation compared to slow propagation and no chain transfer. Accordingly, methacryl macromonomers having homopolymers, block or random copolymers of 2-methyl and 2-pentyl-2-oxazoline backbones with narrow molecular weight distribution were obtained. Termination of the propagating species by ion-exchange or aminolysis with triethylamine yielded hydroxyl and quaternary ammonium terminated macromonomers, respectively.

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 Several macromonomers were prepared by cationic ring‐opening polymerization of 2‐nonyl‐ and 2‐phenyl‐2‐oxazoline using different techniques of functionalization. Introduction of the unsaturated functional group directly via a suitable termination agent proved to be superior to the use o
