2-oxypropylmethacrylat termined poly (1, 3 dioxolane) macromonomers having various chain lengths, were prepared by cationic polymerization using H₂SO₄ as initiator. The end group is introduced via the termination (end capping) using 2-hydroxypropylmethacrylate (2-HPMA). The amphiphilic graft copolymer is formed by the hydrophilic poly (1, 3- dioxolane) side chain and hydrophobic poly 2-hyèdroxypropylmethacrylate backbone with various chain lengths, were synthesized by free radical copolymerization of poly (1, 3 dioxolane) ω- oxypropylmethacrylate in the presence of 2- hydroxypropylmethacrylate using benzyle peroxide as initiator.
