This thesis is focused on synthesis and polymerization of caprolactone and its derivatives by living ring opening polymerization (LROP), Self-assembly in aqueous solutions produced nanoaggregates comprised of amphiphilic block copolymers or telechelic polymers with incorporated boron compounds (phenyl boronic acids and boron clusters). Incorporation of boron compounds was facilitated either by covalent or non-covalent bonding. Obtained complex nanoparticle structures manifested stimuli-responsive behaviour and were investigated under varying conditions by combination of light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The obtained results on solution behaviour of polymers in combination with added value of boron compounds, yield general aspects of nano aggregate morphology, responsive character tuning and practical aspects of synthesis and self-assembly overcame in the preparation process. The publications wrote during this thesis are therefore adding valuable information to researchers engaged in biomedical utilization of such nano assemblies.
