Summary: Cationic ring‐opening polymerization of cyclic ethers (also esters and acetals) substituted with hydroxyl groups leads to branched multihydroxyl polymers. When 4‐membered hydroxysubstituted oxetanes or 5‐membered hydroxysubstuituted oxolanes (or lactone and 1,3‐dioxolane) are used as monomers the polymerization products have limited molecular weights (about 1000). Polymerization of these monomers leading in situ to oligomeric products was used for inorganic surface modification. Successful polymerizations of oxetane as well as considered as difficult to polymerize 5‐membered hydroxysubstituted cyclic monomers initiated from montmorillonite clay and silica nanoparticles surfaces were performed.
