We herein report a new facile strategy to ellipsoidal block copolymer nanoparticles that exhibit a pH-triggered anistropic swelling profile. In a first step, elongated particles with an axially stacked lamellae structure are selectively prepared by utilizing functional surfactants to control the phase separation of symmetric polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) in dispersed droplets. In a second step, the dynamic shape change is realized by cross-linking the P2VP domains, thereby connecting glassy PS discs with pH-sensitive hydrogel actuators.
我们在此报告一种制备椭圆形嵌段共聚物纳米粒子的新的简便策略,该纳米粒子呈现出pH触发的各向异性溶胀曲线。第一步,通过利用功能性表面活性剂控制对称聚苯乙烯-b-聚(2-乙烯基吡啶)(PS-b-P2VP)在分散液滴中的相分离,选择性地制备具有轴向堆叠层状结构的细长颗粒。第二步,通过交联P2VP域实现动态形状变化,从而将玻璃态PS圆盘与pH敏感水凝胶致动器连接起来。
