“Hard” Sphere Behavior of “Soft”, Globular-like, Hyperbranched Polyglycerols – Extensive Molecular Hydrodynamic and Light Scattering Studies

2020

Whether or not hyperbranched polymers behave like quasi “hard spheres” in solution is the subject of numerous fundamental discussions, also motivated by research on the perfectly branched dendrimer...

Topologically Controlled Inter-Polyelectrolyte Complexes between Molecular Bottlebrushes and Dendrimers

2010

The complexation of a cylindrical polyelectrolyte−brush-surfactant complex (PMMPSS−C12) and an oppositely charged generation-5 PAMAM dendrimer (G5-PAMAM) in methanol (MeOH) leads to kinetically con...

General Kinetic Analysis and Comparison of Molecular Weight Distributions for Various Mechanisms of Activity Exchange in Living Polymerizations

1997

The molecular weight distributions in many living (e.g. anionic, group transfer, cationic, and radical) polymerizations strongly depend on the dynamics of various equilibria between chain ends of d...

Techniques To Control Polymersome Size

2015

Polymersomes as synthetic analogues of liposomes appear frequently in relevant literature as promising candidates for a wide range of different applications including drug delivery, theranostic multitools, and nanoreactors. In particular, as nanotransporters for nanomedical applications in vivo, requirements concerning the reproducible manufacturing and reliable size control are extremely high. This Perspective highlights the importance of size control especially in the context of nanomedicine and gives an overview of the theoretical background of amphiphilic self-assembly leading to different preparation methods, where their feasibility of controlling polymersomes’ size is discussed.
