Precise and Controllable Assembly of Block Copolymers

Bixin Jin et al.

Summary: With the advancement of nanotechnology, the synthesis and functionalization of nanoparticles have become increasingly important. Block copolymer assemblies, although cheaper and easier to fabricate compared to inorganic nanoparticles, pose challenges in dimensional control. The discovery of living Crystallization-Driven Self-Assembly has enabled researchers to precisely tune the sizes of block copolymer assemblies, leading to significant progress in the self-assembly field.

Self-sorting assembly of artificial building blocks

Qianwei Liu et al.

Summary: Self-assembly is a common phenomenon in living systems, and scientists have been trying to emulate its intricacy, homogeneity, and versatility in artificial building blocks. Self-sorting assembly in multicomponent systems allows for the spontaneous recognition and spatial aggregation of the same or interactive building units, leading to well-ordered products or hierarchical structures in a one-step manner. This efficient assembly strategy has attracted significant research attention, particularly in artificial systems using supramolecular and polymeric building blocks.

Precise Supramolecular Polymerization of Liquid Crystalline Block Copolymer Initiated by Heavy Metallic Salts

Yi-Qi Chen et al.

Summary: Heavy metallic salts can induce supramolecular polymerization and fibrilization in liquid crystalline block copolymers. The block copolymer monomers can bind with the metallic salts to form small aggregates, which act as seeds to trigger the supramolecular polymerization of the rest of the monomers. The length of the resulting supramolecular polymer fibrils is linearly proportional to the ratios between the block copolymer and the metallic salts, and is influenced by the choice of metallic cations and counterions. This method can be used to polymerize different block copolymer monomers to produce pentablock supramolecular polymers in a one-pot manner.

Patchy Micelles with a Crystalline Core: Self-Assembly Concepts, Properties, and Applications

Christian Hils et al.

Summary: Crystallization-driven self-assembly is a powerful method for producing one- and two-dimensional micellar assemblies with controlled length, shape, and corona chemistries, with potential applications in various fields. Patchy micelles with crystalline cores offer advantages in terms of interfacial activity, functionalization, and confinement effects due to their unique corona segmentation structure.

Emerging applications for living crystallization-driven self-assembly

Liam MacFarlane et al.

Summary: Crystallization is used as a tool to control the self-assembly of polymeric and molecular amphiphiles in solution, leading to the creation of non-spherical nanoparticles and complex hierarchical assemblies. The living CDSA method allows for predictable size control, access to branched and segmented structures, and has been applied to a wide range of crystallizable polymeric amphiphiles and supramolecular polymerizations.

Investigating the influence of block copolymer micelle length on cellular uptake and penetration in a multicellular tumor spheroid model

Qing Yu et al.

Summary: The physicochemical properties of drug nanocarriers, such as size, shape, and surface chemistry, play a crucial role in their efficient penetration into tumor tissues. Rigid rod-like micelles with uniform width and varied lengths were found to exhibit significant cell uptake and penetration into multicellular tumor spheroids, with elongated micelles showing deeper penetration. However, the extent and depth of tumor penetration decreased with increasing aspect ratio of the rod-like micelles, indicating a shape-dependent effect on cellular uptake and penetration.
