title: Synthesis of hybrid block copolymers via integrated ring-opening metathesis polymerization and polymerization of NCA.
abstract: Linear hybrid block copolymers with well controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersities were synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) followed by ring-opening polymerization of amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides.
