Super-helices self-assembled from a binary system of amphiphilic polypeptide block copolymers and polypeptide homopolymers.
We report here a discovery that amphiphilic polypeptide block copolymers and polypeptide homopolymers are able to aggregate together into super-helical structures of rods and rings, in which polypeptide chains form the core and PEG chains form the shell.
متن کاملSelf-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 کاملBiological-like vesicular structures self-assembled from DNA-block copolymers.
The polymer modification of short nucleotide sequences has been achieved for future use as self-assembled biologically active structures with sizes in the nanometre range. Co-assembly of the resulting DNA-based amphiphilic block copolymers with native proteins demonstrates the self-assembly of biological-like vesicular structures.
متن کاملChemically enhancing block copolymers for block-selective synthesis of self-assembled metal oxide nanostructures.
We report chemical modification of self-assembled block copolymer thin films by ultraviolet light that enhances the block-selective affinity of organometallic precursors otherwise lacking preference for either copolymer block. Sequential precursor loading and reaction facilitate formation of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and aluminum oxide nanostructures within the polystyrene domains of both l...
متن کاملThe synthesis and purification of amphiphilic conjugated donoracceptor block copolymers
Nanoscale domains of donor and acceptor materials are crucial for charge generation in organic photovoltaic devices. These domains are difficult to achieve reproducibly in blended materials, but could be engineered into single-material active layers composed of donor–acceptor block copolymers (BCPs). In this work, we report the synthesis and purification of two novel fully conjugated BCPs, P3HT...
