RAFT-Mediated Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly

Franck D'Agosto et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. .

Abstract

After a brief history that positions polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) in the field of polymer chemistry, this Review will cover the fundamentals of the PISA mechanism. Furthermore, this Review will also give an overview of some of the features and limitations of RAFT-mediated PISA in terms of the choice of the components involved, the nature of the nanoobjects that can be obtained and how the syntheses can be controlled, as well as some potential applications.

Keywords: PISA; RAFT; block copolymers; heterogeneous polymerization; morphology.
