Patent Images
1. A method of synthesizing a block copolymer, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a first compound comprising a polymeric thiol precursor comprising a thiol bound to a protecting group;
(b) generating a polymeric thiol from said first compound by removing said protecting group; and
(c) initiating a polymerization of a second compound comprising an episulfide group with said thiol produced in step (b) thereby producing a block copolymer comprising a terminal thiol.
