## Abstract **Summary:** Novel, starโshaped, amphiphilic block copolymers composed of fully degradable poly(caprolactone) were synthesized by sequential addition polymerization. In the first step, fourโarm macroinitiators were produced by ringโopening polymerization of caprolactone by initiation wi

## Abstract **Summary:** Wellโdefined styrene (S) and butyl acrylate (BA) linear and starโlike block copolymers are synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using diโ and trifunctional alkyl halide initiators employing the Cu/PMDETA (__N__,__N__,__N__โฒ,__N__โณ,__N__โณโpentamethyldi
## Abstract Combination of cationic, redox free radical, and thermal free radical polymerizations was performed to obtain linear and star polytetramethylene oxide (polyโTHF)โpolymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)/polystyrene (PSt) multiblock copolymers. Cationic polymerization of THF was initiated by the m
Liquid crystalline (LC) block copolymers comprising polystyrene and LC polyester blocks were obtained by a three-step procedure. In a first step, hydroxyl-terminated oligoesters were obtained by polycondensation reaction of methylhydroquinone and 4,4'-dicarboxy-l,10dibenzoyloxydecane in pyridine sol
