Statistical and block copolymerization of poly­(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly­(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) macromonomers having an end norbornenyl group was performed via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) to produce the corresponding statistical and block brush copolymers consisting of PLLA and P...
