  • Title: Invertible amphiphilic homopolymers.
    Author: Basu S, Vutukuri DR, Shyamroy S, Sandanaraj BS, Thayumanavan S.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2004 Aug 18; 126(32):9890-1. PubMed ID: 15303841.
    Abstract:
    Stimuli-responsive polymers and assemblies are viable candidates for the so-called "smart" materials. In this communication, we report a new class of amphiphilic homopolymers that forms micelle-like structures in polar solvents and inverted micelle-like structures in apolar solvents. We demonstrate that these superstructures are the result of the changes in the molecular-level conformations in the monomer.
