Star-shaped amphiphilic polymers with six hydrophilic poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) arms were firstly synthesized via anionic ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide (PO) from a hydrophobic calix[6]arene core by means of the core-first method.

• 杯芳烃的多羟基的特征使其成为一种优良的合成星型高分子的“核”分子,本文由对叔丁基杯[6]芳烃出发,引发环氧丙烷(PO)的开环聚合,通过先核后臂的方法合成了六臂聚环氧丙烷(PPO)两亲星型聚合物,该星型聚合物的臂长可以由对叔丁基杯[6]芳烃和PO单体的投料比控制。
