<p><b>ABSTRACT:</b> Photo-controlled atom transfer radical polymerization (PhotoATRP) was implemented, for the first time, to accomplish polymerization induced self-assembly (PISA) mediated by UV light (λ = 365 nm) using ppm levels (ca. < 20 ppm) of copper catalyst at ambient temperature. Using Cu<sup>II</sup>Br<sub>2</sub>/tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine (TPMA) catalyst systems, PISA was per-formed all in one-pot starting from synthesis of solvophilic poly(oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMA) blocks to core-crosslinked nanoparticles (NPs) utilizing poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) and N,N-cystamine bismethacrylamide (CBMA) as the solvophobic copolymer and crosslinking agent, respectively. Sequential chain-extensions were performed for PGMA demonstrating capabilities for accessing multi-block copolymers with temporal control via switching the UV light on and off. Further, core-crosslinking of PISA nanoparticles was performed via the slow incorporation of the CBMA enabling one-pot crosslinking during the PISA process. Finally, the disulfide installed in the CBMA core-crosslinks allowed for the stimuli-triggered dissociation of nanoparticles using DL-dithiothreitol at acidic pH.</p>

AbstractUnderstanding and controlling self-assembly processes at multiple length scales is vital if we are to design and create advanced materials. In particular, our ability to organise matter on the nanoscale has advanced considerably, but still lags far behind our skill in manipulating individual molecules. New tools allowing controlled nanoscale assembly are sorely needed, as well as the physical understanding of how they work. Here, we report such a method for the production of highly anisotropic nanoparticles with controlled dimensions based on a morphological transformation process (MORPH, for short) driven by the formation of supramolecular bonds. We present a minimal physical model for MORPH that suggests a general mechanism which is potentially applicable to a large number of polymer/nanoparticle systems. We envision MORPH becoming a valuable tool for controlling nanoscale self-assembly, and for the production of functional nanostructures for diverse applications.
