Aqueous-Phase Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly [PDF]
We report aqueous-phase Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (ROMPISA) for forming well-defined micellar polymer nanoparticles at room temperature and high solids concentration (20 w/w%). This is achieved with a new polymerization initiator, in the form of a water-soluble cationic Hoveyda-Grubbs second generation catalyst.

Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly of Micelles Observed by Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy [PDF]
In this paper, we describe the use of liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM) for inducing and imaging the formation of spherical micelles from amphiphilic block copolymers. Within the irradiated region of the liquid cell, diblock copolymers

Recent progress in polymerization‐induced self‐assembly: From the perspective of driving forces
Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) enables the simultaneous growth and self‐assembly of block copolymers in one pot and therefore has developed into a high‐efficiency platform for the preparation of polymer assemblies with high concentration and

Simultaneous Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly (PISA) and Guest Molecule Encapsulation [PDF]
Nanoparticles with various morphologies such as micelles, worm‐like/rod‐like and spherical vesicles are made using a polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) approach via a one‐pot RAFT dispersion polymerization. On polymerization/self‐assembly, we report a concurrent highly efficient loading of guest molecules within the nanoparticle structures ...

Synthesis of Multifunctional Polymersomes Prepared by Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly. [PDF]
Polymersomes are an exciting modality for drug delivery due to their structural similarity to biological cells and their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. In this regard, the current work aimed to develop multifunctional polymersomes, integrating dye (with hydrophobic Nile red and hydrophilic sulfo-cyanine5-NHS ester as ...
