Abstract:
Once around the block : Incorporation of a rigid hydrogen‐bonding benzamide unit, placed at the interface between two polymer blocks, in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–(thio)urea–poly(L ‐lactide) (PLLA) block copolymers transforms the morphology of the block copolymers, from spherical micelles, as formed by PEG‐PLLA diblock copolymers, into nanotubes in solution.
