Stereocomplex-Driven Morphological Transition of Coil-Rod-Coil Poly(lactic acid)-Based Cylindrical Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: The stereocomplexation of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) enantiomers opens up an avenue for the formation of new materials with enhanced performance, specifically regarding their mechanical and thermal resistance and resistance to hydrolysis. Despite these useful features, the study of the stereocomplexation between block copolymers based on PLA in solution is limited, and a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon is urgently needed. Herein, triblock copolymers of poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) and PL(or D)LA in which PLA was midblock (PHEAAm_y-b-PL(D)LA_x-b-PHEAAm_y) were synthesized and assembled into cylindrical micelles via crystallization-driven self-assembly . The stereocomplexation between enantiomeric micelles
