Amphiphilic poly(poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PPEGMA-b-PMMA) diblock copolymer nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) at 70 °C in a continuous tubular reactor.

A diblock-copolymer/homopolymer self-assembled blend was synthesized through dispersion RAFT polymerization, and its morphology changed with a decreasing ratio of diblock-copolymer/homopolymer.

We describe the formation of pseudo-star copolymers via incorporation of an isocyanate-bearing monomer, dimethyl meta-isopropenyl benzyl isocyanate (TMI) into a homopolymer of butyl acrylate (BA) using a one-pot, two-step synthesis. The resultant product maintains the functionality of the isocyanate moiety, which is used to attach poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether onto the copolymeric chain under benign reaction conditions. The resultant pseudo-star copolymers were isolated and their self-assembly in the presence of water studied.

This paper introduces the synthesis of well-defined 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate-b-poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate diblock copolymer, which has been grafted onto mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PTBAEMA-b-PEGMEMA-MSNs) via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The ATRP initiators were first attached to the MSN surfaces, followed by the ATRP of 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PTBAEMA). CuBr2/bipy and ascorbic acid were employed as the catalyst and reducing agent, respectively, to grow a second polymer, poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA). The surface structures of these fabricated nanomaterials were then analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results of Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) show that ATRP could provide a high surface grafting density for polymers. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) was conducted to investigate the pH-responsive behavior of the diblock copolymer chains on the nanoparticle surface. In addition, multifunctional pH-sensitive PTBAEMA-b-PEGMEMA-MSNs were loaded with doxycycline (Doxy) to study their capacities and long-circulation time.
