Manners, I. (2018). Probing the Growth Kinetics for the Formation of Uniform 1D Block Copolymer Nanoparticles by Living Crystallization-
semanticscholar(2018)
Abstract
Living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) is a seeded growth method for crystallizable block copolymers (BCPs) and related amphiphiles in solution and has recently emerged as a highly promising and versatile route to uniform core-shell nanoparticles (micelles) with control of dimensions and architecture. However, the factors that influence the rate of nanoparticle growth have not been systematically studied. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), smalland wideangle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS), together with the super-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques, we have investigated the kinetics of the seeded growth of poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane)-b-(polydimethylsiloxane) (PFS-b-PDMS), as a model living CDSA system for those employing, for example, crystallizable emissive and biocompatible polymers.
