A novel class of chemically addressable, multifunctional Giant Amphiphiles was synthesized in excellent yields and polydispersity following simultaneous or sequential living radical polymerization and the click, copper(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). This new approach allows chemical tailoring of the biomacromolecules and in situ formation of nanocontainers.
