Amphiphilic block copolymer nano-fibers via RAFT-mediated polymerization in aqueous dispersed system

Abstract

Self-assembled block copolymer nanofibers are attractive materials for multiple applications. We propose here a novel, very simple and straightforward method to prepare polymeric nanofibers at high solids contents directly in water. It is based on an aqueous emulsion polymerization process performed under living radical polymerization conditions, using the RAFT method.
