The controlled synthesis of long hydrophobic blocks in amphiphilic block copolymers remains challenging in living anionic ring-opening polymerization (LAROP), particularly when competing effects such as back-biting and solubility limitations are involved. In this study, we investigated the temperature-dependent growth of poly(allyl glycidyl ether) (PAGE) blocks in PEO-b-PAGE block copolymers synthesized via LAROP using potassium naphthalenide as a co-initiator. Systematic variation in reaction parameters revealed that reaction temperature plays a significant role in governing effective PAGE block extension and dispersity control. Lower temperatures facilitated the formation of longer PAGE blocks with dispersities below 1.1 and DP values approaching targeted compositions, whereas elevated temperatures limited block growth. A group method of data handling (GMDH) polynomial neural network was employed as an auxiliary tool to prioritize influential variables within the experimental design matrix. The GMDH-guided analysis consistently identified temperature as the most influential variable, in agreement with experimental observations. These results provide quantitative insight into the temperature-controlled propagation behavior of PAGE in LAROP systems and offer a practical framework for improving block copolymer synthesis under kinetically and thermodynamically constrained conditions.
