The development of effective approaches to synthesize smart amphiphilic block copolymers (ABPs) exhibiting acid-responsive degradation through the cleavage of acid-labile imine bonds is extensively explored for controlled release of encapsulated biomolecules, particularly in drug delivery. Here, a new approach based on direct polymerization utilizing a co ...
