Functional group-dependent self-assembled nanostructures from thermo-responsive triblock copolymers

The ability to control the formation of nanostructures through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers is of great interest in the field of biology and catalysis. In this work we have studied the self-assembling behavior of a new class of thermo-responsive triblock copolymers containing poly(e...

520 |a The ability to control the formation of nanostructures through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers is of great interest in the field of biology and catalysis. In this work we have studied the self-assembling behavior of a new class of thermo-responsive triblock copolymers containing poly(ethylene glycol), and demonstrated the manner in which the aggregation pattern changed on simple functional group transformation on the copolymers. Two different triblock copolymers, poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-ispropylacrylamide)-b-poly(t-butyl acrylate) (P1) and poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (P2) were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) technique. It was observed that P1 and P2 displayed different temperature dependent solution properties in water, with P1 forming micelles above the LCST of the PNIPA while P2 showing macroscopic phase separation under similar conditions. Thereafter, the tert-butyl group of P1 was converted to the corresponding acid (P1a) and the epoxy groups of P2 was converted to diols (P2a), thus transforming the hydrophobic blocks to hydrophilic ones. Quite interestingly, such transformations led to significant changes in their self-assembling behavior, as both P1a and P2a were seen to form vesicles beyond the LCST of PNIPA. Changes in the hydrophilic fraction in the block copolymers by subtle changes in the functionality and temperature led to the formation of varied nanostructured assemblies, as evident from dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmisison electron microscopy (TEM), and steady-state fluorescence analysis. Such formation of thermo-responsive vesicles induced by simple structural changes in the copolymers is quite interesting and highly significant in drug delivery applications
