Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Block Copolymers in Selective Solvents
For the last decades, amphiphilic block copolymers have been at the focus of extensive scientific interest, due to their unique properties and numerous potential applications. Their technological potential evolves from their ability to self-assemble into a plethora of morphologically diverse nanostructures such as micelles, polymersomes, cylinders and others. In this chapter, we discuss the bas...
متن کاملFormation of polymer vesicles by simultaneous chain growth and self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers.
Polymerization-induced formation of amphiphilic diblock copolymer vesicles is performed in water at high concentrations by a single-step nitroxide-mediated controlled free-radical emulsion polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine, initiated by a water-soluble poly(sodium acrylate) macroalkoxyamine at alkaline pH.
متن کاملSolubilization and Encapsulation of Fullerenes by Amphiphilic Block Copolymers
Solubilization and encapsulation of fullerenes C60 and C70 by ultralarge hollow micelles formed by rod-coil diblock copolymers and characterization of the resulting self-organized fullerene-block copolymer assemblies are reported. The solubilization capacity of each fullerene in poly(phenylquinoline)-blockpolystyrene (PPQ-PS) micelles in binary solvents, trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane, an...
متن کاملDirected assembly of functionalized nanoparticles with amphiphilic diblock copolymers.
The ability to design and fabricate highly ordered superstructures from nanoscale particles remains a major scientific and technological challenge. Patchy nanoparticles have recently emerged as a novel class of building units to construct functional materials. Using simulations of coarse-grained molecular dynamics, we propose a simple approach to achieve soft nanoparticles with a self-patchines...
متن کاملControlled supramolecular self-assembly of large nanoparticles in amphiphilic brush block copolymers.
To date the self-assembly of ordered metal nanoparticle (NP)/block copolymer hybrid materials has been limited to NPs with core diameters (D(core)) of less than 10 nm, which represents only a very small fraction of NPs with attractive size-dependent physical properties. Here this limitation has been circumvented using amphiphilic brush block copolymers as templates for the self-assembly of orde...
