Abstract

New hybrid polyoxazolines (CubePOZO) were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline initiated by functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) with various feed ratios. The hybrid micelles derived from CubePOZO with both seven hydrophobic cyclopentyl groups of POSS and polyoxazoline (POZO) as a hydrophilic segment were prepared in an aqueous phase. Compared to POZO initiated by cyclohexyl ...
