Nanogel Star Polymer Nanostructures of Controlled Size, Molecular Architecture and Functionality: No Assembly Required
Miller R.D., Sly J., Lee V.Y., Appel E., Nguyen T., Nunes H., Tjio M., Gomez L., McNeil M., Munninghoff J., Rowan A.E., IBM Almaden Research Center, US
We have developed versatile routes to nanogel core, multiarm star polymeric unimolecular amphiphiles that provides exquisite control over molecular size, polydispersity, chain and periphery functionality which eliminate the dynamic equilibrium associated with polymeric micelles. . [...]
