amiphiphilic block copolymer synthesized by mechanochemical solid-statepolymerization and used to form polymeric micelles. A model amphiphilic block copolymer was synthesized first, possessing galactose as a hydrophilic side chain and theophylline as a hydrophobic side chain, by mechanochemical solid-statepolymerization. The resulting copolymer had a narrow molecular weight distribution. Polymeric micelle formation
