Reversible CO2-, Photo- and Thermo- Triple Responsive Supramolecular Chirality of Azo-containing Block Copolymer Assemblies Prepared by Polymerization-induced Chiral Self-assembly

Alkylation of thioether-containing block copolymer simultaneously incorporated sulfoniums and phenylboronic acid moieties. The co-assembly of this cationic polymer and protein generated micelles with an H2O2-and ATP-responsive release profile.

The well-defined block copolymer PMMA-b-PS was prepared by two-step ATRP in emulsion system. GPC results indicate that Mn increased linearly with conversion and polydispersity remained relatively narrow. It presents the characteristics of living polymerization in emulsion system. FT-IR demonstrated that block copolymer PMMA-b-PS could be successfully synthesized by ATRP with macroinitiator PMMA-Cl in emulsion system. The morphological characteristic of the self-assembly depends on the block copolymer concentration and transforms between spheres and rodlike micelles. The property indicates a perfect potential application in drug delivery materials.
