title: Synthesizing amphiphilic block copolymers through macromolecular azo-coupling reaction.
abstract: This communication reports a new approach to synthesize amphiphilic block copolymers. The copolymers with well-defined structures were synthesized by macromolecular azo-coupling reaction between the diazonium salt of aniline-functionalized PEG and the polymeric blocks with a terminal suitable for the azo-coupling reaction.
