    Abstract: The invention provides a method for sequence controllable block copolymerization of a cyclic ester monomer and an epoxy monomer, including: in an inert atmosphere, adding the epoxy monomer and/or the cyclic ester monomer into a catalytic initiating system including an organic base and an alkyl borane for reaction, so as to obtain a sequence controllable polyether-polyester block copolymer of the cyclic ester monomer and the epoxy monomer, i.e. a polyester-b-polyether or a polyether-b-polyester. The invention can prepare various polyether-polyester block copolymers of which the molecular weights, block sequences, block ratios and pendant group combinations can be flexibly adjusted. The invention provides a method for continuously preparing an aliphatic polyester-polyether block copolymer by a one-pot method utilizing a catalytic system of a metal-free Lewis acid-base pair.
