An intracellular delivery vehicle of which surface is covered by a positive charge, an intracellular delivery complex in which a component or compound desired is loaded in the intracellular delivery vehicle, a temperature-sensitive probe comprising the intracellular delivery complex, and a method for measuring the intracellular temperature by the temperature-sensitive probe are disclosed. The intracellular delivery vehicle is useful on account of its capability of easily delivering the component or compound desired inside the cell without inhibiting cell proliferation.

The present invention relates to a fluorine-containing alternating copolymer macromonomer and a synthesis method thereof. The synthesis method comprises steps of: subjecting a fluorine-containing alternating copolymer to a reduction reaction at 60-100° C. in an organic solvent in the presence of a reducing agent and a first catalyst to obtain a reduction product; in the presence of a second catalyst, reacting the reduction product with a mercapto-monohydric alcohol in an organic solvent at 60-100° C., to obtain a hydroxyl-terminated fluorine-containing alternating copolymer; and in the presence of a third catalyst, reacting the hydroxyl-terminated fluorine-containing alternating copolymer with an acrylic monomer or acryloyl chloride monomer at 0-30° C., to obtain the fluorine-containing alternating copolymer macromonomer. In the present invention, a fluorine-containing alternating copolymer macromonomer is initially synthesized from a fluorine-containing alternating copolymer through polymer modification.
