Abstract

Lipase catalyzed, highly regioselective polymerization of glycerol and poly[ethylene glycol bis(carboxymethyl) ether] dimethylester leads to block copolymers that can be used to generate micellar nanotransporters. The environmentally benign methodology can be worthily extended for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
