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.

Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly of Conjugated Block Copoly(phenylacetylene)s [PDF]
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) was developed to prepare assemblies of conjugated block copoly(phenylacetylene)s for the first time. The living dispersion polymerization of (R/S)-4-(1-phenethylbamoyl)phenylacetylene (rmAN/smAN) can be ...

Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly of Comb-like Amphiphilic Copolymers into Onion-like Vesicles [PDF]
A multilamellar or onion-like vesicle is an enclosed structure always self-assembled by multiple polymer bilayers. Compared with the unilamellar vesicle, onion-like vesicles show more complex functionality and better structural stability, making onion ...

Toward Sulfur-Free RAFT Polymerization Induced Self-Assembly [PDF]
Polymerization induced self-assembly (PISA) using methacrylate-based macromonomers as RAFT agents is an unexplored, attractive route to make self-assembled colloidal objects. The use of this class of RAFT-agents in heterogeneous polymerizations is however not trivial, because of their inherent low reactivity.
