Emerging Trends in Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly [PDF]
In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) for the rational synthesis of block copolymer nanoparticles with various morphologies. Much of the PISA literature has been based on thermally initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization.

Self-Assembling Peptide—Polymer Nano-Objects via Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly [PDF]
Self-assembling peptides (SAPs) have been extensively studied for their ability to form nanoscale ordered structures driven by noncovalent molecular interactions. Meanwhile, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has been exploited as a facile and efficient way to produce various amphiphilic block copolymer nano-objects, whose self-assembly was ...

Predicting Monomers for Use in Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly [PDF]
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.

Unimer Exchange Is not Necessary for Morphological Transitions in Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly. [PDF]
AbstractPolymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) has established itself as a powerful and straightforward method to produce polymeric nano‐objects of various morphologies in (aqueous) solution. Generally, spheres are formed in the early stages of polymerization that may evolve to higher order morphologies (worms or vesicles), as the solvophobic ...
