Low‐Temperature Synthesis of Thermoresponsive Diblock Copolymer Nano‐Objects via Aqueous Photoinitiated Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly (Photo‐PISA) using Thermoresponsive Macro‐RAFT Agents

Photoinitiated reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization of 2‐hydroxypropyl methacrylate is conducted in water at low temperature using thermoresponsive copolymers of 2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy) ethyl methacrylate and oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (M_n = 475 g mol⁻¹) as the macro‐RAFT agent. Kinetic studies confirm that quantitative monomer conversion is achieved within 15 min of visible‐light irradiation (405 nm, 0.5 mW cm⁻²), and good control is maintained during the polymerization. The polymerization can be temporally controlled by a simple “ON/OFF” switch of the light source. Finally, thermoresponsive diblock copolymer nano‐objects with a diverse set of complex morphologies (spheres, worms, and vesicles) are prepared using this particular formulation.

Facile One‐Pot Synthesis of Functional Giant Polymeric Vesicles Controlled by Oscillatory Chemistry

We introduce a novel application of an oscillatory chemical reaction to the synthesis of block copolymers. The Belousov–Zhabotinsky (B‐Z) reaction is coupled with the polymerization of an amphiphilic block copolymer. Radicals generated in the B‐Z reaction initiate the polymerization between a polyethylene glycol (PEG) macroreversible addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer agent and butyl acrylate monomers. The attachment of a hydrophobic block on PEG leads to self‐assembly and formation of spherical micelles. The nanoscale micelles transform into submicrometer vesicles and grow to giant vesicles as a consequence of the oscillatory behavior of the B‐Z reaction. The one‐pot synthesis of an amphiphilic di‐block copolymer and retention of oscillatory behavior for the B‐Z reaction with the formation of giant vesicles bring a new insight into possible pathways for the synthesis of active functional microreactors in the range from hundreds of nanometers to tens of micrometers.     

开环聚合诱导自组装的挑战与展望

聚合诱导自组装（PISA）是一种新兴的纳米粒子制备技术,它集聚合与组装过程于一体,可在高固含量条件下进行,因此备受青睐.此外,通过改变嵌段聚合度以及固含量等参数,可以精确地控制纳米粒子的形貌,实现从球形胶束到空心囊泡的形貌转变.然而,受限于适用于PISA体系的聚合方法和单体种类,其发展也受到了一定的限制.目前,PISA主要基于可逆加成-断裂链转移聚合（RAFT）,其在聚合诱导自组装机理、形貌控制、结构表征等方面的研究成果,对于高分子化学其他领域具有重要的参考价值.然而,由于RAFT聚合诱导自组装（RAFT-PISA）体系中适用的单体往往局限于（甲基）丙烯酸酯类和苯乙烯类,导致RAFT-PISA制备的纳米粒子限于其碳-碳主链的基本结构难以生物降解,因此生物医用前景并不乐观.为了克服以上缺陷,开环聚合诱导自组装（ROPISA）应运而生,主要包括开环易位聚合诱导自组装（ROMPISA）、氨基酸-N-羧基-环内酸酐开环聚合诱导自组装（NCA-PISA）及自由基开环聚合诱导自组装（rROPISA）.由于ROMPISA体系对诸多功能性基团表现出化学惰性,从而为多功能纳米粒子的原位制备提供了新的方法;而rROPISA和NCA-PISA则使得生物可降解纳米粒子的原位制备成为可能.作为PISA领域崭新的研究方向,ROPISA不仅将新聚合方法引入了PISA体系,而且突破了以往PISA难以制备可降解纳米粒子的瓶颈,为PISA技术在生物医药领域的应用架起了桥梁.作者简要总结了ROPISA的发展现状,着重分析并提出了该领域面临的挑战,最后从机理研究、单体设计及转化应用等方面对ROPISA的发展前景进行了展望.     

RAFT-Mediated Emulsion Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly for the Synthesis of Core-Degradable Waterborne Particles

Poly(N-acryloylmorpholine) (PNAM)-decorated waterborne nanoparticles comprising a core of either degradable polystyrene (PS) or poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PBA) were synthesized by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) in water. A PNAM bearing a trithiocarbonate chain end (PNAM-TTC) was extended via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated emulsion copolymerization of either styrene (S) or n-butyl acrylate (BA) with dibenzo[c,e]oxepane-5-thione (DOT). Well-defined amphiphilic block copolymers were obtained. The in situ self-assembly of these polymers resulted in the formation of stable nanoparticles. The insertion of thioester units in the vinylic blocks enabled their degradation under basic conditions. The same strategy was then applied to the emulsion copolymerization of BA with DOT using a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) equipped with a trithiocarbonate end group, resulting in PEG-decorated nanoparticles with degradable PBA-based cores.     

Photoinitiated Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly of Glycidyl Methacrylate for the Synthesis of Epoxy‐Functionalized Block Copolymer Nano‐Objects

Herein, a novel photoinitiated polymerization‐induced self‐assembly formulation via photoinitiated reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) in ethanol–water at room temperature is reported. It is demonstrated that conducting polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) at low temperatures is crucial for obtaining colloidal stable PGMA‐based diblock copolymer nano‐objects. Good control is maintained during the photo‐PISA process with a high rate of polymerization. The polymerization can be switched between “ON” and “OFF” in response to visible light. A phase diagram is constructed by varying monomer concentration and degree of polymerization. The PGMA‐based diblock copolymer nano‐objects can be further cross‐linked by using a bifunctional primary amine reagent. Finally, silver nanoparticles are loaded within cross‐linked vesicles via in situ reduction, exhibiting good catalytic properties.
