Dynamic Control over Aqueous Poly(butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) Self-Assembly through Olefin Metathesis

Reaction-induced phase transitions with block copolymers in solution and bulk

Reaction-induced phase transitions use chemical reactions to drive macromolecular organisation and self-assembly. This review highlights significant and recent advancements in this burgeoning field.

Functionalization-induced self-assembly under ambient conditions via thiol-epoxide “click” chemistry

Polymer micelles were formed using thiol-epoxide “click” chemistry to trigger functionalization-induced self-assembly (FISA) of block copolymers by modifying a reactive glycidyl methacrylate block with solvophobes.

Sphere-to-worm morphological transitions and size changes through thiol–para-fluoro core modification of PISA-made nano-objects

Spherical diblock copolymer nanoparticles became larger spheres, unimers, or worm-shaped particles when functionalised via thiol–para-fluoro substitution in the core.
