Core-functionalized nanoaggregates: preparation via polymerization-induced self-assembly and their applications

Abstract

The combination of polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) and post-polymerization modification is a versatile route to prepare core-functionalized nanoaggregates. PISA is a useful approach for preparing in situ self-assembled nano-objects, in which morphological nanostructures are tunable with a high solid concentration that can afford scale-up syntheses. Herein, the preparation via PISA of diblock copolymers that have functional groups in their structures to be further post-functionalized using active modifiers has been reviewed. The resulting multifunctional nanoaggregates exhibit great potential for use in a wide range of applications, for example, crosslinked nano-objects having improved stability, stimuli responsive vehicles for drug delivery, and fluorescent nanomaterials for bioimaging.
