Abstract:The assembly/disassembly of star block copolymers induced by changes in temperature or pH of the medium is anticipated to have interesting implications for hosting/releasing drugs and tuning chemical reactions. This study investigates the possibility of employing the dually sensitive self-assembly of an ethylene oxide− propylene oxide star block copolymer, Tetronic T904, to influence photoinduced electron transfer (ET) reactions, on switching from the assembled state (micelle) when temperature is above the cri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
