The amphiphilic alternating copolymer brushes P(MIPOSS-alt-VBPEG) with a sequence of alternating MIPOSS and polyethylene glycol (PEG) side chains were synthesized via RAFT polymerization, and they could form spherical aggregates.
An atom-efficient, wholly aqueous one-pot synthesis of zwitterionic diblock copolymers has been devised. Such copolymers can serve as highly effective aqueous dispersants for nano-sized transparent yellow iron oxide particles.
An unprecedented morphology of a titanium dioxide (TiO2) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) self-assembly obtained using a ‘truly’ one-pot and highly cost effective method with a multi-gram scale yield is reported here.
A block copolymer library of polylactide and poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) was prepared via sequential ring opening polymerization and RAFT polymerization in a one-pot approach.
Combining a sequential, one-pot RAFT polymerization with the polymerization-induced self-assembly process results in a versatile oxidation-responsive carrier system.
Salicylaldehyde-functionalized nano-objects are prepared via RAFT-mediated polymerization-induced self-assembly. Their simultaneous stabilization and fluorescence modification can be achieved by one-step reaction.
The first case of surface-initiated polymerization-induced self-assembly (SI-PISA) of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) into single-walled vesicles is reported.
Aqueous one-pot synthesis of well-defined zwitterionic diblock copolymers by RAFT polymerization: an efficient and environmentally-friendly route to a useful dispersant for aqueous pigments
