Amphiphilic graft copolymer of polystyrene (PS) as backbone and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as branch chain was prepared by Decker‐Forster reaction. PEO with Schiff's base end group (PEO s ) was obtained by ring‐opening polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) initiated with protected potassium aminoethoxide, and then alkylated with chloromethylated polystyrene (c‐PS). A graft copolymer with high grafting efficiency was derived by hydrolysis of the above‐mentioned product.
