Logarithmic chain-exchange kinetics of diblock copolymer micelles.
We present a study of equilibrium chain-exchange kinetics of a well-defined model system for starlike polymeric micelles. The results show that the kinetics follows a logarithmic time dependence. The same feature has been confirmed for two other micellar systems. This is in sharp contrast to theoretical predictions and hints towards strongly coupled chain dynamics within the micellar cores indu...
متن کاملSupracolloidal polymer chains of diblock copolymer micelles.
Directional attraction with lateral repulsion between colloidal nanoparticles can create their supracolloidal chains. Here, we demonstrate supracolloidal polymers of diblock copolymer micelles, which were polymerized by adjusting the polarity of the solvent. We also synthesized supracolloidal random and block copolymer chains.
متن کاملHollow flower micelles from a diblock copolymer.
A poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(2-(4-vinylphenyl)pyridine) (P2VP106-b-PVPPy95) coil-coil diblock copolymer forms hollow flower micelles in a mixed solvent of methanol and water (95/5, v/v) in a one step process. The geometry and composition of the micelles allow formation of a Pt-Au bimetallic dendritic nanocatalyst with a Pt leaf at room temperature.
متن کاملCrystalline free energies of micelles of diblock copolymer solutions.
We report a characterization of the relative stability and structural behavior of various micellar crystals of an athermal model of AB-diblock copolymers in solution. We adopt a previously developed coarse-graining representation of the chains which maps each copolymer on a soft dumbbell. Thanks to this strong reduction of degrees of freedom, we are able to investigate large aggregated systems ...
متن کاملEncapsulation of Curcumin in Diblock Copolymer Micelles for Cancer Therapy
Application of nanoparticles has recently promising results for water insoluble agents like curcumin. In this study, we synthesized polymeric nanoparticle-curcumin (PNPC) and then showed its efficiency, drug loading, stability, and safety. Therapeutic effects of PNPC were also assessed on two cell lines and in an animal model of breast cancer. PNPC remarkably suppressed mammary and hepatocellul...
