RAFT dispersion polymerization: a method to tune the morphology of thymine-containing self-assemblies

Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly of Block Copolymer Nano-objects via RAFT Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization

In this Perspective, we discuss the recent development of polymerization-induced self-assembly mediated by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) aqueous dispersion polymerization. This approach has quickly become a powerful and versatile technique for the synthesis of a wide range of bespoke organic diblock copolymer nano-objects of controllable size, morphology, and surface f...

Exploiting nucleobase-containing materials – from monomers to complex morphologies using RAFT dispersion polymerization†

One-pot synthesis of nanomaterials via RAFT polymerization induced self-assembly and morphology transition.

A simple and facile strategy has been developed for synthesis of nanomaterials via polymerization in high concentration; multiple morphologies can be created and tuned just by variation of the feed ratio and reaction conditions.

A New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization

In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...

A Critical Appraisal of RAFT-Mediated Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly.

Recently, polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) has become widely recognized as a robust and efficient route to produce block copolymer nanoparticles of controlled size, morphology, and surface chemistry. Several reviews of this field have been published since 2012, but a substantial number of new papers have been published in the last three years. In this Perspective, we provide a critic...
