Shell crosslinked nanostructures with differnt morphologies from an ABC type PAA_(90)-b-PMA_(80)-b-PS_(100) triblock copolymer

摘要

The supramolecular assembly of diblock copolymers into nanostructures with different morphologies is receiving a great deal of interest for their potential application in nanotechnology and biotechnology.Amphiphilic block copolymers form micelles or other morphologies,resulting from the nucleation of the hydrophobic chain segment into a core domain,combined with solvation of the hydrophilic chain segments to form a shell,when placed into a solvent system (water) that is selective for the hydrophilic portion of the polymer chain.
