Synthesis and Thermal Properties of Novel Biodegradable ABCBA Pentablock Copolymers from Poly (Ethylene glycol), L-Lactide and p-Dioxanone
In this work, new biodegradable ABCBA type pentablock copolymers with different mole ratio of L-lactide and PPDO-b-PEG-b-PPDO triblock copolymer were synthesized and characterized. In the first step, PPDO-b-PEG-b-PPDO triblock copolymer was synthesized via a ring-opening polymerization of P-DiOxanone (PDO) monomer with Poly (Ethylene Glycol) (P...
متن کاملSolvent-like ligand-coated ultrasmall cadmium selenide nanocrystals: strong electronic coupling in a self-organized assembly.
Strong inter-nanocrystal electronic coupling is a prerequisite for delocalization of exciton wave functions and high conductivity. We report 170 meV electronic coupling energy of short chain poly(ethylene glycol) thiolate-coated ultrasmall (<2.5 nm in diameter) CdSe semiconductor nanocrystals (SNCs) in solution. Cryo-transmission electron microscopy analysis showed the formation of a pearl-neck...
متن کاملOxidation-responsive polymeric vesicles.
Vesicles formed in water by synthetic macro-amphiphiles have attracted much attention as nanocontainers having properties that extend the physical and chemical limits of liposomes. We sought to develop ABA block copolymeric amphiphiles that self-assemble into unilamellar vesicles that can be further oxidatively destabilized. We selected poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as the hydrophilic A blocks, o...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of methylzinc-polyethylene glycol amphiphiles and their application to materials synthesis.
Amphiphilic molecules have proven to be of extraordinary value because they bear the potential to bridge the molecular scale and the nanoscale. They are characterized by two linked molecular parts, which have different solvent compatibilities. When used with a solvent that is compatible with only one of the molecular regions, self-assembly into higher organized structures, such as micelles and ...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of poly ethylene glycol -based block copolymers for biomedical applications
Nanostructure fabrication from block copolymers is discussed in this review paper. Particularly, novel approaches for the Ž . Ž . construction of functionalized poly ethylene glycol PEG layers on surfaces were focused to attain the specific adsorption of a target protein through PEG-conjugated ligands with a minimal non-specific adsorption of other proteins. Furthermore, surface organization of...
