Polymer Self-Assembly Induced Enhancement of Ice Recrystallization Inhibition

Panagiotis G. Georgiou et al.

Summary: Nanoparticles obtained by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) were found to inhibit ice recrystallization, showing that the size and crowding of polymers may increase the ice recrystallization inhibition activity of non-active polymers. Additionally, it was discovered that poly(vinylpyrrolidone) particles had ice crystal shaping activity, indicating their ability to engage ice crystal surfaces.

Utilization of Poor RAFT Control in Heterogeneous RAFT Polymerization

Song Han et al.

Summary: Utilizing RAFT agents with poor controllability in heterogeneous RAFT polymerization can lead to the formation of high-molecular-weight block copolymers, uncontrolled homopolymers, and unreacted RAFT agents. Despite broad molecular weight distributions, uniform polymer spheres with precise size can still be obtained through this method.

Influence of single chain nanoparticle stabilizers on polymerization induced hierarchical self-assembly

Wei Wen et al.

Summary: The study focuses on utilizing intramolecularly folded single chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) as stabilizers to construct a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion PIHSA formulation, which successfully prepares non-spherical polymer nanoparticles for the first time. The research demonstrates that SCNP stabilizers significantly influence the self-assembly behavior and morphology evolution.

Synthesis of azobenzene-containing liquid crystalline block copolymer nanoparticles via polymerization induced hierarchical self-assembly

Wei Wen et al.

Summary: Polymerization induced hierarchical self-assembly (PIHSA) is a facile approach to synthesize non-spherical block copolymer (BCP) nanoparticles (NPs) by combining liquid crystallization and polymerization induced self-assembly. In this study, a PIHSA formulation based on azobenzene-containing BCPs was developed in n-butanol, achieving a high monomer conversion and morphological transformation of NPs under UV/Vis irradiation. This work expands the PIHSA systems and has potential applications in coating, smart devices, and gene delivery materials.

PISA: construction of self-organized and self-assembled functional vesicular structures

Samuel Pearce et al.

Summary: Living organisms have the ability to create complex structures through self-organization, segregation, and assembly of building blocks, crucial for their morphologies and functions; encapsulation of essential ingredients within a semi-permeable membrane is believed to be a key event in the origin of life; PISA provides a robust mechanism to address challenges associated with the emergence of life and offers potential for synthesizing objects capable of mimicking natural life behaviors.
