AB -type block copolymers of poly($ au$-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG, a segment) and polyoxypropylene (POP, Bsegment) were synthesized and they were reacted with polyoxypropylene his(6-aminohexyl) (POE) to enhance the hydrophilicity of the poly- mers. The degree of swelling of the POE -crosslinked block copolymers (CPB -2) was higher than that of the block dopolymers (PB). The amount of 5-fluorouracil re- leased from CPB-2 block copolymers was greater than that from the PB block copol- ymers when they were incubated in the same period. These results indicate that the amount of 5-fluorouracil released from the matrices is proportional to the hydrophilicity of the polymers. Observing polymer surfaces by scanning electron mi- croscope, pores (diameter ; $0.5-1.5{mu}$m) were appeared on the surface of CPB-2
