چکیده
Micelle-to-vesicle morphological transition has been achieved by light-induced rapid hydrophilic arm detachment from a star polymer. This provides a remote and clean method to control morphology transition of polymeric assemblies.

Vesicular assembly and thermo-responsive vesicle-to-micelle transition from an amphiphilic random copolymer.
Vesicular assembly from a thermo-responsive amphiphilic random copolymer is reported. Vesicle-to-micelle transition above a critical morphology transition temperature (CMTT) resulted in selective triggered release of encapsulated hydrophilic guests over hydrophobic ones. The aggregation pattern of a control polymer indicated a defined role of the methacrylamide groups in the polymer backbone fo...
متن کاملPolyaspartamide Vesicle induced by Metallic Nanoparticles.
Polymer vesicles are being extensively studied to emulate self-assembly in biological systems and also use them in a variety of biological and industrial applications. This study demonstrates a novel strategy to prepare polymer vesicles in a pure aqueous medium by driving the micelle-to-vesicle transition with metallic nanoparticles. We synthesized poly(2-amino-2-hydroxyethyl aspartamide) (PAHA...
متن کاملSynthesis of β-cyclodextrin-Based Star Block Copolymers with Thermo-Responsive Behavior
Star polymers are one example of three-dimensional macromolecules containing several arms with similar molecular weight connected to a central core. Due to their compact structure and their enhanced segment density in comparison to linear polymers of the same molecular weight, they have attracted significant attention during recent years. The preparation of block-arm star copolymers with a perm...
متن کاملMicelle-forming HPMA copolymer conjugates of ritonavir bound via a pH-sensitive spacer with improved cellular uptake designed for enhanced tumor accumulation
We describe design, synthesis, physico-chemical characterization and preliminary biological evaluation of micelle-forming polymer drug conjugates with controlled drug release intended for tumor treatment. The structure of the conjugates was designed to enable tumor tissueand cell-specific drug release and micelle disassembly to avoid side effects accompanying classic chemotherapy and guarantee ...
متن کاملSurface Behavior of PSn(P2VP-b-PtBA)n Heteroarm Stars
We report the surface behavior andmorphologies of two series of pH-responsive amphiphilic heteroarm star block copolymers. In this respect, we studied polystyrene/poly(2-vinylpyridine)/poly(tertbutylacrylate), PSn(P2VP-PtBA)n, heteroarm star block terpolymers and their precursors, PSnP2VPn, star copolymers. These star block polymers differ in architecture (copolymer vs terpolymer), block topolo...
