Two-Stage Collapse of Unimolecular Micelles with Double Thermoresponsive Coronas
Abstract
Phase transition behavior of unimolecular dendritic three-layer nanostructures with dual thermoresponsive coronas is studied. Successive reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerizations of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMA) were conducted using fractionated fourth-generation hyperbranched polyester (Bolton H40) based macroRAFT agent. At lower temperatures (<20 degrees C), dendritic macromolecules H40-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (H40-PNIPAM-PDMA) exist as unimolcular core-shell-corona nanostructures with hydrophobic H40 as the core, swollen PNIPAM as the inner shell, and swollen PDMA as the corona. PNIPAM and PDMA homopolymers undergo phase transitions at their lower critical solution temperatures (LCST), which are found to be 32 degrees C for PNIPAM and 40-50 degrees C for PDMA, respectively. Upon continuously heating through the LCSTs of PNIPAM and PDMA, such dendritic unimolecular micelles exhibit two-stage thermally induced collapse. This process is reversible with a two-stage reswelling upon cooling. Laser light scattering, micro-differential scanning calorimetry, and excimer fluorescence measurements are used to investigate the double phase transitions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
