Abstract Well‐defined amphiphilic PCL‐ b ‐PDMAEMA block copolymers were successfully synthesized by a combination of ATRP and “click” chemistry following either commutative two‐step procedure or straightforward one‐pot process using CuBr · 3Bpy as the sole catalyst. Compared to traditional coupling method, combining click even in “one‐pot” allows preparation diblock characterized narrow molecular weight distribution quantitative conversion azides alkynes into triazole functions. Moreover, character these was demonstrated surface tension measurements critical micellization concentration calculated. magnified image
