In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in polymerization-induced self-assembly
(PISA) for the rational synthesis of block copolymer nanoparticles with various …

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 …

The development of controlled/“living” polymerization greatly stimulated the prosperity of the
fabrication and application of block copolymer nano-objects. Controlled/“living” …

Cylinders are fascinating structures with uniquely high surface area, internal volume, and
rigidity. On the nanoscale, a broad range of applications have demonstrated advantageous …

A chemical reaction that drives a physical polymer self-assembly process, namely,
polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), combines block copolymer synthesis and …

Nature shows us that complex molecular architectures lead to unique material properties,
and these observations have driven polymer scientists to synthesize complex architectures …

The development of controlled/living polymerization methodologies has underpinned a
rapid expanse in our understanding of amphiphilic block copolymer self-assembly. In …

Polymeric vesicles (or polymersomes) are hollow bilayer structures consisting of an inner
aqueous compartment enclosed by a hydrophobic membrane. Vesicular constructs are …

The contents of biological cells are retained within compartments formed of phospholipid
membranes. The movement of material within and between cells is often mediated by the …

Herein, we report the photoinitiated polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (photo‐PISA) of
spherical micelles consisting of proapoptotic peptide–polymer amphiphiles. The one‐pot …
