Amphiphilic poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PCL-b-PNVP) copolymer was synthesized by nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization of N-vinyl pyrrolidione (NVP) at the mediation of PCL with terminated-nitroxide radical group (PCL-T)|PCL-T has been prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of ε-CL with 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinooxy (HTEMPO) as initiator. The hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) were employed to characterize the structure of the polymers. The self-assembly behavior of the copolymers in aqueous media was studied by fluorescence spectra, dynamic light scanning (DLS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results showed that the well-defined PCL-b-PNVP copolymer could be synthesized by combination of ring-opening polymerization and nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization, and the obtained copolymer could be self-assembled into well-dispersed core-shell spherical micelles with a size of 100 nm in aqueous solution. Moreover, the copolymer displayed good biocompatibility and could be acted as the hydrophobic drug carrier.

Key words: amphiphilic block copolymer, poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone), poly(ε-caprolactone), micelles
