Amphiphilic block copolymer nano-fibers via RAFT-mediated polymerization in aqueous dispersed system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-assembled block copolymer nanofibers are attractive materials for multiple applications. We propose here a novel, very simple and straightforward method to prepare polymeric nanofibers at high solids contents directly in water. It is based on an aqueous emulsion polymerization process performed under living radical polymerization conditions, using the RAFT method.

The environmentally-friendly synthesis of epoxy-functional spherical nanoparticles has been achieved using polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) in aqueous solution. Firstly, a non-ionic hydrophilic stabilizer block, poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) (PGMA), was prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) solution polymerization in ethanol. This water-soluble precurs...
