Supracolloidal polymer chains of diblock copolymer micelles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Directional attraction with lateral repulsion between colloidal nanoparticles can create their supracolloidal chains. Here, we demonstrate supracolloidal polymers of diblock copolymer micelles, which were polymerized by adjusting the polarity of the solvent. We also synthesized supracolloidal random and block copolymer chains.

Simultaneous blue, green, and red emission from diblock copolymer micellar films: a new approach to white-light emission.
White-light emission is achieved from a single layer of diblock copolymer micelles containing green- and red-light-emitting dyes in the separate micellar cores and blue-light-emitting polymer around their periphery, in which fluorescence resonance energy transfer between fluorophores is inhibited due to micelle isolation, resulting in simultaneous emission of these three species.
متن کاملControlling the localization of nanoparticles in assemblies of amphiphilic diblock copolymers.
We performed a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) approach to study the self-assembly of AB diblock copolymer tethered nanoparticles (P) in dilute solutions. Different morphological aggregates, including spherical micelles, vesicles, disk-like micelles and rod-like micelles, were found by varying the interaction between block copolymers and nanoparticles. Most importantly, the nanoparticles ca...
متن کاملNear-Critical Micellization for Nanomedicine: Enhanced Drug Loading, Reduced Burst Release
Micelles, a self-assembled formation of diblock copolymer chains, have been shown to have utility for delivery of highly hydrophobic drugs. This is due to their ability to solubilize these drugs into the core of the micelle, thereby increasing the effective dose of drug available for delivery, and to target cancer cells via the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. In most conventiona...
متن کاملLight-Scattering Study of Diblock Copolymers in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: CO2 Density-Induced Micellization Transition
The behavior of polymeric surfactant polyvinyl acetate (PVAC)-b-poly(1,1,2,2-tetrahydroperfluorooctyl acrylate) (PTAN) in supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) was investigated using static and dynamic light scattering. We observed three regions on the phase diagram of the copolymer in supercritical CO2: (i) two-phase region at low CO2 density; (ii) solutions of spherical micelles at intermediate ...
متن کاملDirectional supracolloidal self-assembly via dynamic covalent bonds and metal coordination.
An emerging strategy towards the sophistication of supramolecular nanomaterials is the use of supracolloidal self-assembly, in which micelles or colloids are used as building blocks. Binding directionality can produce nanostructures with attractive properties. Herein, we present a new directional supracolloidal self-assembly by virtue of dynamic covalent bonds and metal coordination in water. C...
