Polymerization-induced self-assembly of (2-(4-vinylbenzyl)iso-indoline-1,3-dione) for the synthesis of hydrazine responsive block copolymer nanoparticles

Abstract

Well-defined core-shell nanoparticles with a phthalimide core are synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated dispersion polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of a novel vinyl benzyl phthalimide monomer, namely (2-(4-vinylbenzyl) iso-indoline-1,3-dione) (VBzPHT)....
