Thiol-ene photocrosslinked hybrid vesicles from co-assembly of POSS and poly(ether amine) (PEA)

摘要

We demonstrated here the thiol-ene photocrosslinked hybrid vesicles from co-assembly of POSS and poly(ether amine) (PEA), which are amphiphilic and responsive to temperature in water, and can be used to control the dispersion of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic dyes in water.Polymeric vesicles are of great interest because of their potential application in encapsulation for controlled release of drugs, enzymes, dyes, paints and protection of active species. As a result, varieties of methods have been used to fabricate polymer vesicles, such as self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers, sacrificial core method, and emulsion polymerization, of which self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers is an easy and convenient way.
