Abstract
En 中文
Polymer single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) have found a wide range of applications spanning catalysts, sensors and nanomedicine. The generation of structured SCNPs from star-shaped polymers with diverse architectures and functionalities affords a new avenue to expand the emerging research area. The large-scale synthesis of structured SCNPs is described by the electrostatics-mediated intramolecular crosslinking of three types of 3-armed star-shaped polymers (T-P4VP, T-PS-b-P4VP, and T-P4VP-b-PS), whose configuration is tunable from spherical to cage-shaped to dumbbell-shaped and star-shaped. The structured SCNPs are amphiphilic and can be used as solid surfactants to stabilize different types of emulsions. Taking advantage of electrostatics-mediated intramolecular crosslinking of three types of 3-armed star-shaped polymers (T-P4VP, T-PS-b-P4VP, and T-P4VP-b-PS), structured SCNPs with different configurations including spherical, cage-shaped, dumbbell-shaped, and star-shaped were synthesized in concentrated solutions, and used as solid surfactants to stabilize liquid-liquid interfaces. image
