Block-graft methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)- b -poly(ε-caprolactone) copolymers with pendant fluorescent pyrene groups were synthesized by post-polymerization conjugation of 1-pyrenemethyl 4-pentynoate (PMP) onto azido-functionalized MPEG- b -PαN 3 CL using the “click” reaction. Copolymers were charac...
