Liquid Crystalline Polymer Vesicles: Thermotropic Phases in Lyotropic Structures
Lin Jia, Min-Hui Li
This paper reviews the research work on the liquid crystalline (LC) polymer vesicles (polymersomes), where the thermotropic nematic and smectic phases are displayed in the lyotropi…
Morphology of Nematic and Smectic Vesicles
Xiangjun Xing, Homin Shin, Mark J. Bowick +3
Recent experiments on vesicles formed from block copolymers with liquid-crystalline side-chains reveal a rich variety of vesicle morphologies. The additional internal order ("struc…
Self-assembly of liquid crystal block copolymer PEG-b-smectic polymer in pure state and in dilute aqueous solution
B. Xu, R. Pinol, M. Nono-Djamen +5
A series of amphiphilic LC block copolymers, in which the hydrophobic block is a smectic polymer poly(4-methoxyphenyl 4-(6-acryloyloxy-hexyloxy)-benzoate) (PA6ester1) and the hydro…
Smectic Polymer Vesicles
Lin Jia, Amin Cao, Daniel Levy +5
Polymer vesicles are stable robust vesicles made from block copolymer amphiphiles. Recent progress in the chemical design of block copolymers opens up the exciting possibility of c…
