## Abstract We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of micellization of block copolymer with hydrophilic nonionic corona‐forming blocks and weak polyelectrolyte (wPE) core‐forming blocks with pH‐triggered solubility in aqueous solutions. We demonstrate that in addition to micelles w

Abstract
We report a new method for the synthesis of block copolymers with a pentasilane core by the polymerization of alkyl methacrylate monomers using the pentasilyl dianion as an initiator. The polymerization proceeded with living features and yielded the corresponding block copolymers with controlled molecular weights. The amphiphilic block copolymer was obtained by the polymer reaction, and it formed sphere‐like aggregates in MeOH/H~2~O solution.

## Abstract Amphipatic block copolymers (OβEb) with a hydrophilic saccharide block and a hydrophobic polypeptide block were synthesized. In these copolymers the saccharide block is the glyco‐amino acid Oβ from ovomucoid and the peptide block (Eb) is a poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) block. Copolymers Oβ
## Abstract **Summary:** The free‐radical addition of __ω__‐functional mercaptans to the vinyl double bonds of 1,2‐polybutadiene‐__block__‐poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers was used for modular synthesis of well‐defined functional block copolymers. The modification reaction proceeds smoothly and yiel
