    Abstract

  • Abstract

    Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is a robust strategy for the syntheses of block copolymer nano-objects with various morphologies. Although PISA has been extensively studied, the use of cyclic macromolecular chain transfer agents (macroCTAs) as the hydrophilic block has not been reported. We explored the effects of macroCTA topology on the polymerization kinetics and morphologies of block copolymer assemblies during reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization. To this end, linear and cyclic poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) with 4-(4-cyanopentanoic acid) dithiobenzoate (CPADB) groups were synthesized and used as CTAs to mediate the RAFT polymerization of benzyl methacrylate (BzMA) and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene (PFSt) under PISA formulation. Interestingly, the nucleation period of the linear PEO is slightly shorter than that of its cyclic analog, and the cyclic hydrophilic segment leads to a delayed morphological transition during PISA.

    Graphical abstract

    The cyclic hydrophilic segment can delay the morphological transition of block copolymer nanoparticles during PISA compared with the linear analog.

    • Public Summary

    • A cyclic macromolecular chain transfer agent (macroCTA) was synthesized via UV-induced cyclization.
    • The effects of the topological structures of macroCTA on the polymerization kinetics and morphologies of block copolymer assemblies during reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization were explored.
    • The cyclic hydrophilic segment could lead to a longer nucleation period and delay the morphology transition of block copolymer nanoparticles during PISA.
