Multiblock polymers with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block are attractive candidates for biomedical applications because of their favorable properties regarding biocompatibility and hydrophilicity. However, the synthesis of PEGylated multiblock polymers (≥4 blocks) is often considered to be challenging and time consuming. Herein, we describe a new approach for the rapid synthesis of PEGylated multiblock polymers with precisely defined and high-order chemical structures based on PEG macroinitiators via aqueous single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) in which 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) is used as an exemplary monomer. Kinetic experiments were performed for the synthesis of PEGylated diblock polymers with a range of number-averaged molecular weights (DP
