Synthesis of PLA-PEG BBCPs. (a) Schematic representation of BBCP synthesis via ROMP of PEG-MM and PLA-MM followed by BBCP self-assembly in water as well as BBCP architectures investigated (bottom left). Samples are categorized based on the structural parameter that is varied. The approximated simplified structure of each BBCP is depicted next to the sample name where the blue part represents the PEG segments and the green part the PLA segment. (b) SEC chromatograms of Tri-S40-L20 after formation of first block (ROMP I), second block (ROMP II), and final BBCP (ROMP III).
