Ring-opening polymerization-induced self-assembly (ROPISA) of salicylic acid o-carboxyanhydride†
Abstract
Here is the first report on polyester-based nanocarriers fabricated via the ring-opening polymerization-induced self-assembly (ROPISA) of salicylic acid o-carboxyanhydride (SAOCA). This ROPISA process affords well-defined diblock copolymers that interestingly form an original cylindrical morphology.
