A combination of different types of cationic ring‐opening polymerizations (CROPs) has been used to construct macromolecular structures containing polymer segments with different physicochemical properties. The cyclic monomers used are tetrahydrofuran (THF), N‐tert ‐butyl aziridine (TBA), 2‐methyl‐1, 3‐oxazoline (MeOX) and 1, 3‐dioxolane (DXL). The macromolecular structures include different block and graft copolymers, telechelics and macromonomers, star‐ and comb‐shaped polymers, polymer networks and interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs).
