Recently, the design of novel supramolecular chiral materials has received a great deal of attention due to rapid developments in the fields of supramolecular chemistry and molecular self-assembly. Supramolecular chirality has been widely introduced...
In this study, we explore the design of novel random poly(lauryl methacrylate-co-tert-butyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid), P(LMA-co-tBMA-co-MAA) copolymers via the RAFT copolymerization of LMA and tBMA followed by the selective hydrolysis of tBMA...
This review article aims to cover the most recent advances regarding the synthesis of linear ABC-type triblock terpolymers and star-shaped polymers by RAFT polymerization, as well as their self-assembly properties in aqueous solutions. RAFT polymeriz...
In this work, the synthesis and solution self-assembly of partially fluorinated cationic polyelectrolytes based on post-polymerization-modified poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate), incorporating hydrophobic fluorinated groups along the polymer...
This manuscript presents the synthesis of hyperbranched amphiphilic poly (lauryl methacrylate-co-tert-butyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid), H-P(LMA-co-tBMA-co-MAA) copolymers via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymeriza...
Stimuli-responsive copolymers are of great interest for targeted drug delivery. This study reports on a controllable post-polymerization quaternization with 2-bromomethyl-4-fluorophenylboronic acid of the poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP) block of a comm...
Reversible deactivation radical polymerizations (RDRPs) have proven to be the convenient tools for the preparation of polymeric architectures and nanostructured materials. When biodegradability is conferred to these materials, many biomedical applica...
Micellar catalysts with a switchable core are attractive materials in organic synthesis. However, little is known about the role of the shell forming block on the performance of the catalyst. Thermoresponsive block copolymers based on poly(N-isopropy...
We report the synthesis of three (3) linear triblock terpolymers, two (2) of the ABC type and one (1) of the BAC type, where A, B and C correspond to three chemically incompatible blocks such as polystyrene (PS), poly(butadiene) of exclusively (~100%...
The development of non-viral delivery systems for effective gene therapy is one of the current challenges in modern biomedicinal chemistry. In this paper, the synthesis of pH- and redox-responsive amphiphilic polypeptides for intracellular DNA delive...
We have developed a new methodology for fabricating self-oscillating gels by a post-polymerization crosslinking. The method enables us to make the self-oscillating gels easily just by mixing two kinds of polymer solutions at room temperature with fas...
