The control of ionic permselectivity in porous films is an interesting aspect in the context of lab-on-chip devices and m-electronics. Especially, visible light triggered ionic permselectivity control is of relevance because control by light can be maintained externally without changing internal system parameters. In addition, light is a sustainable energy source if sunlight is used. Here, we p...

We report a general method for the solid-phase synthesis of polymers via the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The method involves polymerization in solution to form a block copolymer, immobilization of the polymer via reaction of one block with a resin-bound functional group, modification of the other block, and liberation of the polymer from the resin. We demonstrated the utility...

The use of proteins as biological tools and therapeutic agents is limited due to the fact that proteins do not effectively cross the plasma membrane of cells. Here, we report a novel class of protein transporter molecules based on protein transduction domain mimics (PTDMs) synthesized via ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The PTDMs reported here were specifically inspired by amphip...

Forming nanostructures with controlled size and shape is one of the most challenging tasks in material science. Amphiphilic block copolymers are of special interest because of their ability to self-assemble on the nanoscale. The formation of micelles has potential applications such as in drug delivery, biosensors, and gene therapy. Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a versatile te...
