Abstract
A family of polyesters, poly(glycerol adipate) (PGA), poly(sorbitol adipate) and PGA‐graft‐poly(ε‐caprolactone), bearing OH groups on their backbones were synthesized by enzymatic polycondensation. They were successfully converted into macroinitiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) by esterification with α‐bromoisobutyryl bromide. As a proof of concept, glycerol monomethacrylate was polymerized by ATRP from a PGA backbone yielding the amphiphilic graft copolymer PGA‐graft‐poly(glycerol monomethacrylate). Its self‐assembly in aqueous solution was studied using dynamic light scattering. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry
