The ability of merging the properties of poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(ethylene imine) is of high interest for various biomedical applications, including gene delivery, biosensors, and switchable surfaces and nanoparticles. In the present research, a methodology for the controlled and selective hydrolysis of (co)poly(2-oxazoline)s is developed in an ethanol-water solvent mixture, opening the path toward a wide range of block poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethylene imine) (POx-PEI) copolymers with tunable properties. The unexpected influence of the selected ethanol-water binary solvent mixture on the hydrolysis kinetics and selectivity is highlighted in the pursue of well-defined POx-PEI block copolymers.
