The aim of this work is to demonstrate that the alkylation and dealkylation of selenium atoms is an effective tool in controlling polymer amphiphilicity and, hence, its assembly and disassembly process in water. To establish this concept, poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(glycidyl methacrylate) was prepared. A post-synthesis modification with phenyl selenolate through a base-catalyzed selenium-epoxy 'click' reaction then gave rise to the side-chain selenium-containing block copolymer with an amphiphilic character. This polymer assem
