Abstract: Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-block-poly(ε-caprolactone)(MPEG-b-PCL) was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS) combined with post-source decay(PSD) technique. The block length and block distribution of the diblock copolymer were clearly determined. The results indicate that MALDI-TOF MS combined with PSD is an excellent method for the study of structures of block copolymer. It provided an important evidence for realizing and applying the diblock copolymer. Furthermore, the analysis method of the diblock copolymer was established.

Key words: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS), Post-source decay(PSD), Block copolymer, Block length
