A novel diblock copolymer with a supramolecular polymer block and a traditional polymer block: preparation, controllable self-assembly in water, and application in controlled release.

A novel diblock copolymer with a hydrophobic supramolecular polymer block and a hydrophilic traditional polymer block has been prepared. Control over the chain length ratio of the two blocks is obtained by simply changing the concentration proportion of the monomer of the supramolecular polymer block to the traditional polymer block in solution. When the chain length ratio of the two blocks is changed, the formation of various self-assembly morphologies is achieved.
