We demonstrate the light-induced, crosslinker mediated collapse of linear polymer chains into single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) capable of self-reporting their unfolding.

A series of N-substituted poly(Gly–alter–Val) peptides were successfully synthesized for the systematic evaluation of the micellization behavior of alternating peptides. Three-component polymerization employing an aldehyde, a primary ammonium chloride, and potassium isocyanoacetate afforded four alternating peptides in excellent yields. We investigated the dependence of the hydrophilic–lipophilic balance of alternating peptides on the micellization behavior. All the aqueous solutions of alternating peptides exhibited upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behaviors, strongly indicating that the alternating binary pattern would mainly contribute to the UCST behaviors. The cloud points of alternating peptides shifted to higher temperatures as the side chains became more hydrophilic, which is opposite to the trend of typical surfactants. Such unusual micellization behaviors appeared to be dependent on the quasi-stable structure of single polymer chains formed in water.

The photolysis of polymethacrylic acid was studied in aqueous solutions as a function of pH, polymer concentration, polymer chain length, and small additions of electrolytes in the absence of oxygen with light of wavelength 2537 Å. The random chain scission constants decrease with increasing pH values. Small variations in polymer chain length and concentration and electrolyte concentration have no effect on the photolysis. Changes in the ultraviolet spectra with irradiation time are more pronounced at low pH values than higher ones. It is shown that the decrease in susceptibility to photolysis with increasing degree of ionization of the acid is not proportional to the decrease or increase of the number of COOH or COO− groups respectively. It is rather due to the same causes—that is changes in ionic atmosphere— which make the polymer chains uncoil with increasing ionization.
