Title: | Temperature-directed micellar morphological transformation using CABC-block copolymers and its applications in encapsulation and hidden segment | Authors: | Zheng, Jie Chen, Chen Goto, Atsushi |
Keywords: | Science::Chemistry | Issue Date: | 2020 | Source: | Zheng, J., Chen, C., & Goto, A. (2019). Temperature-directed micellar morphological transformation using CABC-block copolymers and its applications in encapsulation and hidden segment. Angewandte Chemie (International edition), 59(5), 1941-1949. doi:10.1002/anie.201913988 | Journal: | Angewandte Chemie (International edition) | Abstract: | A temperature-directed micellar morphological transformation was developed using CABC multi-block copolymers with a hydrophobic block A, a hydrophilic block B, and a thermally responsive block C with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The micellar structure was switched from a star (below LCST) to a flower (above LCST). The transition temperature was tunable in a wide range (11-90 °C) by varying the C monomer composition. The large difference in the loading capacity between the star and flower enabled efficient encapsulation and controlled release of external molecules. Unlike conventional systems, the present star-to-flower transformation keeps micellar structures and hence does not liberate polymers but only external molecules selectively. Another application is a hidden functional segment. A functional segment is hidden (shielded) below the LCST and exposed to interact with external molecules or surfaces above the LCST. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/137713 | ISSN: | 1433-7851 | DOI: | 10.1002/anie.201913988 | Rights: | © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
