Abstract | Cited by

Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is conducted based on “non-living” radical dispersion polymerization in the form of addition–fragmentation chain transfer (AFCT) polymerization. AFCT polymerization of benzyl methacrylate in ethanol using a polymeric AFCT agent comprising poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate generates an amphiphilic copolymer which subsequently self-assembles into various morphologies. This novel approach may expand the scope of PISA for synthesis of sulfur-free polymeric (nano)particles.
