• Hollow Block Copolymer Nanoparticles through a Spontaneous One-step Structural Reorganization

  The spontaneous one-step synthesis of hollow nanocages and nanotubes from spherical and cylindrical micelles based on poly(acrylic acid)-b-polylactide (P(AA)-b-P(LA)) block copolymers (BCPs) has been achieved. This structural reorganization, which occurs simply upon drying of the samples, was elucid more

• Poly(vinylidene chloride)-Based Amphiphilic Block Copolymers

  The controlled/living free-radical copolymerization of vinylidene chloride (VDC) with methyl acrylate (MeA) or acrylic acid (AA) was studied by the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) technique using a trithiocarbonate RAFT agent. The reactions were performed in 1,4-dioxane solut more

• Self-oscillating micelles

  In this paper, we report on a novel block copolymer that can undergo spontaneous unimer–micelle oscillation under constant conditions without any on-off switching of external stimuli. The target block copolymer (PEO-b-P(NIPAAm-r-Ru(bpy)3)) was successfully prepared by reversible addition fragmentati more
