Live on : Random copolymers made by living ring‐opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene monomers containing either the elastin peptide sequence ‐(VPGVG)‐ or pentaethylene glycol (see scheme; Mes=mesityl, pyr=pyridine) exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The LCST can be easily modified by varying the ratio of the co‐monomers in the polymer feed.
