Abstract
Reported here is the first aqueous ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) using α-amino-poly(ethylene oxide) as a macroinitiator to protect the NCA monomers from hydrolysis through spontaneous in situ self-assembly (ISA). This ROPISA process affords well-defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers that simultaneously form original needle-like nanoparticles.Entities:
