Anion-dipole interactions can make homopolymers self-assemble like an amphiphilic block copolymer. Generally, common homopolymers cannot self-assemble into multiple nanostructures. Here, it is reported that anion-dipole interactions can enable a number of homopolymers to achieve a variety of self-assembly behaviors in aqueous solution. Such interactions and self-assembly features have been exclusively reserved for amphiphilic (block) polymers until now.
阴离子-偶极相互作用可以使均聚物像两亲性嵌段共聚物一样自组装。通常,常见的均聚物不能自组装成多种纳米结构。在这里,据报道阴离子-偶极相互作用可以使许多均聚物在水溶液中实现多种自组装行为。直到现在,这些相互作用和自组装特性一直只保留在两亲(嵌段)聚合物中。
