Encapsulation of polysilane into shell cross-linked micelles

Abstract

The cross-linking reaction of the poly(methacrylic acid) block of poly(1,1-dimethyl-2,2-dihexyldisilene)-b-poly(methacrylic acid) with 1,10-diaza-4,7-dioxadecane and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride afforded the first shell cross-linked micelles of polysilane.
