Converse transitions between the micelles and the vesicles of pyrrolidone-based AIE amphiphilic copolymers in polar and apolar solvents.

ABSTRACT: Herein, a new family of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) amphiphilic copolymers, named poly(N-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)pyrrolidone)-b-poly(lauryl methacrylate-co-1-ethenyl-4-(1,2,2-triphenylethenyl)benzene), PNMP _x -b-P(LMA _y -co-TPE _z ), was developed by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization method. The polymerization degree x of the NMP segment was kept constant at 35, whereas that of the LMA segment ranged from 9 to 55 with the polymerization degree ratio y/z of the LMA and TPE segments being around 9. As a result, the PNMP _x -b-P(LMA _y -co-TPE _z ) copolymer gradually transf
