Polymerization-Induced Hierarchical Electrostatic Self-Assembly: Scalable Synthesis of Multicompartment Polyion Complex Micelles and Their Monolayer Colloidal Nanosheets and Nanocages
2020
Scalable
synthesis of multicompartment polyion complex (PIC) systems has been
achieved via visible light-initiated RAFT polymerization of cationic
monomer in the presence of anionic diblock copolymer micelles in water
at 25 °C. This polymerization-induced hierarchical electrostatic
self-assembly (hierarchical PIESA) implements structural hierarchy
via programmable self-assembly to form multicompartment PIC micelles
and their monolayer colloidal nanosheets and nanocages. The anionic
micelles play decisive roles in such a hierarchical PIESA to access
biologically relevant yet otherwise inaccessible multicompartment
PIC systems.
