Polymerization-induced microphase separation (PIMS) has been previously combined with 3D printing to develop customized nanostructured materials with a wide range of functional applications.
Aqueous RAFT polymerization for the preparation of degradable and non-degradable cross-linked star polymer model networks, in situ dye encapsulation and release.
Star-shaped POEGMA-b-P3HT exhibits isotropic behavior, phase-separated nanostructures with ambipolar characteristics.
Comb copolymer analogues of poly(lactic acid)-polyethylene glycol block copolymers (PLA-b-PEG) offer potential to overcome the inherent chemistry and stability limitations of their linear block copolymer counterparts.
Poly(lactic acid)-co-poly(oligoethylene glycol methacrylate) nanoparticles enable precise control of mucoadhesion and mucopenetration at mucosal interfaces by varying the PEG side chain length, representing a versatile strategy for optimizing nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems.
