A family of polyesters, poly(glycerol adipate) ( PGA ), poly(sorbitol adipate) and PGA ‐ graft ‐poly( ε ‐caprolactone), synthesized by enzymatic polycondensation were converted into atom transfer radical polymerization macroinitiators. Glycerol monomethacrylate ( GMA ) was polymerized from a PGA backbone yielding the amphiphilic PGA ‐ graft ‐ PGMA .
