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
Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly of Block Copolymer Nano-objects via RAFT Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization
TL;DR: This approach has quickly become a powerful and versatile technique for the synthesis of a wide range of bespoke organic diblock copolymer nano-objects of controllable size, morphology, and surface functionality.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Critical Appraisal of RAFT-Mediated Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly.
TL;DR: A critical appraisal of the various advantages offered by polymerization-induced self-assembly, while also pointing out some of its current drawbacks is provided.
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.

TL;DR: It is found that surfaces in water bearing polyzwitterionic brushes that were polymerized directly from the surface can have μ values as low as 0.0004, which is attributed primarily to the strong hydration of the phosphorylcholine-like monomers that make up the robustly attached brushes.
