Hydrophilic and amphiphilic polymeric trithiocarbonates based on polyacrylic acid are able to provide polymerization-induced self-assembly in copolymerization of butyl and fluoroalkyl acrylates.
An amphiphilic block copolymer-based colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor for Hg2+was prepared, which was synthesized by sequential RAFT polymerization of NIPAM and R6GDM (a novel Hg2+-sensitive rhodamine monomer).
The ABC triblock copolymer molecularly displays diverse properties in dilute solution and concentrated solution at different pH with elevated temperatures.
We report the synthesis of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(((4-vinylphenyl)ethene-1,1,2-triyl)tribenzene) diblock copolymers via RAFT polymerization. The diblock copolymers were capable of self-assembling into photoluminescent micelles in aqueous media.
Novel PDMAEMA-b-PLMA-b-POEGMA triblock terpolymers were synthesized by RAFT polymerization. Triblock polyelectrolytes were obtained by quaternization. PDMAEMA-b-PLMA-b-POEGMA and QPDMAEMA-b-PLMA-b-POEGMA terpolymers self-assemble into spherical micelles with a mixed corona in aqueous media.
