## Abstract Oligosarcosines, which contain as azobenzene group at the center of the chain and amino groups at both ends [(Sar)~__n__~Azo(Sar)~__n__~], were prepared with the __N__‐carboxyanhydride method. The oligomers were coupled with an equimolar amount of succinyl chloride in the presence of

Abstract
Polyacetylene can be solubilized by making copolymers with polyisoprene via anionic polymerization of isoprene using BuLi as the initiator, followed by Ziegler‐Natta copolymerization of acetylene onto the polyisoprenyllithium chains using either Ti(OBu)~4~ or CoCl~2~. In the present study, the effects of temperature on cis‐trans isomerization of the polyacetylene blocks and the phase behaviour of the PI‐PA copolymers in solution were investigated. We found that isomerization of the cis‐polyacetylene blocks in a solution of the PI‐PA copolymer is retarded by some intramolecular barriers, making the cis‐isomer rather stable. Reducing the temperature below about 12°C was found to cause a phase transformation from the worm‐like structure to spherical micelles in solution.
