Abstract

Summary: The syntheses and characterizations of well‐defined star‐shaped amphiphilic polymers containing a hydrophobic p‐tert‐butyl‐calix[6]arene core and six hydrophilic PPO or PPO‐b‐PDTC arms are described. The average number of PO units in each arm could be adjusted by choosing a suitable amount of raw material.
