RAFT‐Mediated Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019 AbstractAfter a brief history that positions polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) in the field of polymer chemistry, this Review will cover the fundamentals of the PISA mechanism. Furthermore, this Review will also give an overview of some of the features and limitations of RAFT‐mediated PISA in terms of the choice of the components involved ...

Artificial cell synthesis using biocatalytic polymerization-induced self-assembly. [PDF]
Nat Chem, 2023 Abstract Artificial cells are biomimetic microstructures that mimic functions of natural cells, can be applied as building blocks for molecular systems engineering, and host synthetic biology pathways. Here we report enzymatically synthesized polymer-based artificial cells with the ability to express proteins.

Predicting Monomers for Use in Polymerization-Induced Self- Assembly [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2018 AbstractWe report an in silico method to predict monomers suitable for use in polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA). By calculating the dependence of LogPoct /surface area (SA) on the length of the growing polymer chain, the change in hydrophobicity during polymerization was determined.

Reverse Sequence Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly in Aqueous Media. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2022 AbstractWe report a new aqueous polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) formulation that enables the hydrophobic block to be prepared first when targeting diblock copolymer nano‐objects. This counter‐intuitive reverse sequence approach uses an ionic reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent for the RAFT aqueous dispersion ...
