UCST-driven self-assembly and crosslinking of diblock copolymer micelles

The upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behaviour of poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) monomethylether methacrylate] (POEGMA) in 1-octanol was exploited to self-assemble and crosslink micellar aggregates. Four diblock copolymers, POEGMA-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (POEGMA-b-PNIPAM), POEGMA-b-...
