CO2-switchable multi-compartment micelles with segregated corona.
نویسندگان
چکیده
CO2-switchable multi-compartment micelles (MCMs) with a segregated corona formed by a purpose-designed ABC triblock copolymer are reported. They can be switched "on" and "off" when sequentially treated with CO2 and N2, due to the protonation-deprotonation of the tertiary amine groups along the polymer skeleton.

Y-shaped amphiphilic brushes with switchable micellar surface structures.
We observed novel nanoscale surface structures of segregated pinned micelles and craterlike micelles formed by grafted Y-shaped molecules and their reversible reorganization in selective solvents. The Y-shaped molecules have two incompatible polymer chains (polystyrene and poly(tert-butyl acrylate)) attached to a functional stemlike segment capable of covalent grafting to a functionalized silic...
متن کاملCorona charge selective micelle degradation catalyzed by P. cepacia lipase isoforms.
Micelles derived from poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) diblock copolymers (HO-PCLn-b-PEG32-RX, R = -O(CH2)3S(CH2)2-; X = -CO2(-), -SO3(-), -NH3(+)) show corona charge selective degradation catalyzed by P. cepacia lipase isoforms.
متن کاملY-Shaped Polymer Brushes: Nanoscale Switchable Surfaces
We report a first observation of nanoscale surface structures of segregated pinned micelles of grafted Y-shaped molecules and their reversible structural reorganization. We designed a novel type of Y-shaped molecules combining two highly incompatible polymer chains (arms) attached to a single focal point capable of chemical grafting to a functionalized silicon surface. We demonstrated that spat...
متن کاملSurface charge switchable and core cross-linked polyurethane micelles as a reduction-triggered drug delivery system for cancer therapy
The extracellular stability versus intracellular drug release and the long blood stream circulation versus enhanced cell uptake are two dilemmas for micellar drug delivery systems. To resolve the above two problems, a novel core cross-linked polyurethane micelles with redox sensitive and pH-responsive surface charge switchable properties were prepared and investigated as anti-cancer drug carrie...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency exfoliation of layered materials into 2D nanosheets in switchable CO2/Surfactant/H2O system
Layered materials present attractive and important properties due to their two-dimensional (2D) structure, allowing potential applications including electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. However, fully exploiting the outstanding properties will require a method for their efficient exfoliation. Here we present that a series of layered materials can be successfully exfoliated into single- ...
