Micellization of Photo-Responsive Block Copolymers
This review focuses on block copolymers featuring different photo-responsive building blocks and self-assembly of such materials in different selective solvents. We have subdivided the specific examples we selected: (1) according to the wavelength at which the irradiation has to be carried out to achieve photo-response; and (2) according to whether irradiation with light of a suitable wavelengt...
متن کاملVisible light-responsive micelles formed from dialkoxyanthracene-containing block copolymers.
A class of dialkoxyanthracene-containing diblock copolymers is synthesized which possesses visible light-responsivity. These copolymers can self-assemble into a micellar structure in water. Green visible light (540 nm) is able to scissor these anthracene species and cleave the diblock copolymer into two fragments, inducing disassembly of the self-assembled micelles.
متن کاملEnvironmentally Responsive Block Copolymers as Anti-biofouling Surfaces
Biofouling of ship-hulls is a problem of significant economic and environmental consequences. The accumulation of ‘slimes’ of microorganisms such as bacteria, green algae and diatoms, followed by the attachment of macroorganisms such as hydroids, sponges and barnacles, causes increased frictional drag on ships, higher consumption of fuel, and greater emission of greenhouse gases [1]. That marin...
متن کاملThermo- and light responsive micellation of azobenzene containing block copolymers.
In this communication, the synthesis and characterization of thermo- and light responsive block copolymers is reported. PEO-b-PNIPAM polymers with azobenzene moieties were prepared and analyzed by turbidimetry, fluorescence, NMR and DLS measurements. A temperature controlled reversible formation as well as a light induced disruption and reformation of micellar structures in water was found.
متن کاملA Novel Composite Membrane for pH Responsive Permeation
Objective(s) In this study, a kind of pH sensitive composite membrane was prepared and drug permeation through it was investigated in terms of pH. Rationale of this study originated from the fact that a pH change which may be a result of a disease state in the body can trigger drug release. Materials and Methods Here, a kind of pH sensitive composite membrane containing different nanoparticle ...
