Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Assembled Block Copolymer Aggregates: From Micelles to Vesicles and their Biological Applications.
TL;DR: This review is focused on the inherent advantages in using polymer vesicles over their small molecule lipid counterparts and the potential applications in biology for both drug delivery and synthetic cellular reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Insights for Block Copolymer Morphologies: How Do Worms Form Vesicles?
TL;DR: It is shown that spherical micelles, wormlike micells, and vesicles can be predictably and efficiently obtained at relatively high solids in purely aqueous solution by polymerization-induced block copolymer self-assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aqueous dispersion polymerization: a new paradigm for in situ block copolymer self-assembly in concentrated solution.
TL;DR: Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization has been utilized to polymerize 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) using a water-soluble macromolecular chain transfer agent based on poly(2-(methacryloyloysloxy)ethylphosphorylcholine) (PMPC) that reliably predicts the precise block compositions associated with well-defined particle morphologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive Phase Diagrams for RAFT Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization: Effect of Block Copolymer Composition, Molecular Weight, and Copolymer Concentration
TL;DR: Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of poly(glycerol monomethacrylate)-poly(2-hydroxypropyl methACrylate) (PGMA-PHPMA) diblocks is conducted using a RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization formulation at 70 °C as discussed by the authors.
