UNIMOLECULAR MICELLES AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

In accordance with the present invention there is provided a method of makin g a cascade polymer including the steps of alkylating the branches of a multi-branch core alkyne building block includi ng multiple ether side chains and simultaneously reducing the alkyne triple bonds and deprotecting to form a multi-hydroxyl terminated, multi-branched all alkyl polymer. The inventive method results in the formation of a unimolecular micelle consisti ng essentially of alkyl carbon.
