| Abstract | A new type of metallopolymer‐polypeptide block copolymer poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane)‐b‐poly (ε‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐l‐lysine) was synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐l‐lysine N‐carboxyanhydride initiated by using a primary amino‐terminated poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane). Studies on the self‐organization behavior of this polypeptide block copolymer in both the bulk state and in solution were performed. In the bulk state, a cylindrical‐in‐lamellar structure was observed in a compositionally asymmetric sample. Rod‐like micelles with a polyferrocenylsilane core formed in a polypeptide‐selective solvent alone or in the presence of a common solvent. Significantly, an additional small quantity of the common solvent assisted the formation of longer micelles and micelles with better shape‐regularity. This is attributed to a decrease in the number of nucleation events and PFS core reorganization effects. |
