Supportin information Synthesis of Dextran Graft Copolymers The synthesis route of the dextran raft opolymers is shown in Sheme S1. The details for the synthesis of raft opolymers are as follows. Sheme S1. The synthesis route of Dex--PMAGGCNTyr-NPEG 3k (II), Dex--P(MPEG-o-MAGGCNTyr) (III), Dex--P(PMA-o-MAGGCNTyr) (IV). Synthesis of Dex--P(MPEG-o-MAGGCNTyr) and Dex--P(PMA-o- MAGGCNTyr). Dextran (250 m) was firstly dissolved in 6 ml water and then K 2 S 2 8 (2.7 m, 0.01 mmol), NaS 3 (1.4 m, 0.01 mmol) were added. The solution was uled with nitroen at room temperature for 30 min to remove the oxyen. Then 4 ml MAGGC/MPEG or MAGGC/PMA mixed aqueous solution was added slowly 1
under nitroen atmosphere. The resultant reation solutions were dialyzed aainst water, and then were freeze-dried to otain Dex--P(MPEG-o-MAGGC) or Dex--P(PMA-o- MAGGC). The details on the seletion of the optimal onditions are listed in Tales S1 and S2. From run 1 to 4 (Tale S1), when n(-c):n(mpeg) is kept at 1.95:1, DS -C /DS MPEG 1, so the raft monomer MAGGC/MPEG reativity ratio is around 1:2, From run 1 to 3 (Tale S2), when n(-c):n(pma) is kept at 0.77:1, DS -C /DS MPEG 0.8, so the raft monomer reativity ratio MAGGC/PMA is around 1:1. In order to synthesize raft opolymer with a deree of sustitution of C roups around 0.5-0.6, the reation feedin ratios of the MAGGC were adjusted as those listed in Tales S1 and S2. DS PMA and DS MPEG inrease with the inrease of the mass of the added monomer PMA or MPEG. The influenes of MPEG and PMA mononmer onentrations on the raft ratio (G) are listed in Tales S1 and S2. Graftin ratio (G) was alulated y the followin formula. G = W 2 /W 1 100%, where W 1 and W 2 the mass of pure raft opolymer and raft hains, respetively. DS PMA = A 2 /2A 1, where A 1 and A 2 are the interated areas of the protons on dextran akone (δ = 4.95 ppm) and the methylene of =C N C 2 roups of the PPMA side hains (δ = 3.00-3.30 ppm) on 1 NMR spetra, respetively. DS MPEG = A 3 /2A 1, where A 3 is the methylene of =C C 2 roups of the PMPEG side hains (δ = 4.12-4.28 ppm) on 1 NMR spetra, respetively. Moleular weiht of Dex--P(MPEG-o- MAGGC) raft opolymer was alulated y M w,dex--p(mpeg-o-maggc) = M w,dex + n(184 DS C + 360 DS MPEG ), where M w,dex is the moleular weiht of dextran, 184 is the molar mass of MAGGC. Moleular weiht of Dex--P(PMA-o-MAGGC) raft opolymer was alulated y M w,dex--p(pma-o-maggc) = M w,dex + n(184 DS C + 143 DS PMA ), where 143 is the molar mass of PMA. n is the averae numers of luose unit per dextran hain. The raft opolymers are haraterized y usin 1 NMR, and the 2
typial 1 NMR data is shown in Fiure S1 and S2. The onjuation of the L-Tyrosine is similar to the previous work. 1 Dex--P(MPEG-o-MAGGCNTyr).
