pH-responsive self-assembly of fluorophore-ended homopolymers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
pH-responsive perylene-ended amphiphilic homopolymers can self-assemble into flower-like structures by pH-adjustment. Both the π-π stacking of perylene end groups and the electrostatic repulsion effect of the polymer chains contribute to the pH-responsive self-assembly in aqueous solution.

Self-assembly of hydrophilic homopolymers: a matter of RAFT end groups.
Unusual self-assembly behavior is observed for a range of hydrophilic homopolymers. This self-assembly behavior is contrary to the expected behavior of such hydrophilic polymers and instead mimics more commonly reported amphiphilic block copolymers. It is proposed that the unique combination of hydrophobic end groups at both the α and ω chain end accounts for this unusual self-assembly behavior...

متن کاملSelf-Assembly as a Technique for Peptide-Based Materials
Amphiphilic peptide (AP), which behaves in some respects like amphiphilic surfactants, is a class of molecule that consists of a hydrophilic peptide segment and a hydrophobic domain. In water, these molecules generally self-assemble into rods with a hydrophobic core. The peptide segments outside the hydrophobic core always prefer a β-sheet conformation. As introduced in the latest reviews [23,2...
متن کاملSelf-assembly and nanoaggregation of a pH responsive DNA hybrid amphiphile.
This work describes the design and preparation of a simple but novel hybrid amphiphile containing a pH-responsive DNA sequence. The formation of a bimolecular i-motif structure allows the control of reversible switching of the hybrid amphiphile between the dimer and unimer by pH. Thus, spherical aggregates with distinct self-assembly pathways, sizes and structures are obtained at pH 4.5 and pH ...
متن کاملpH-Responsive Schizophrenic Diblock Copolymers Prepared by Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is used for the highly convenient and efficient preparation of ampholytic diblock copolymer nanoparticles directly in acidic aqueous solution. Cationic nanoparticles comprising a protonated polyamine stabilizer block and a hydrophobic polyacid core-forming block are formed at pH 2. Micelle inversion occurs at pH 10 to produce anionic nanoparticles wit...
