anionic ring-opening copolymerization (AROP) of N, N-diethyl glycidyl amine (DEGA) and
propylene oxide (PO). A solvent free synthesis route using potassium counterions and crown
ether for the AROP enabled controlled (co) polymerization with full conversion. The strategy
provided access to PPO-b-PDEGA block copolymers, statistical PPO-co-PDEGA
copolymers, and, for the first time, PDEGA homopolymer. Molecular weights in the range of …
