两亲性星型聚合物合成的研究进展

Progress in the Synthesis of Amphiphilic Star-Shaped Polymers

具有复杂结构的两亲性星型聚合物的设计与合成是目前高分子合成研究中的热点之一。由于活性聚合技术的发展,通过自由基聚合和离子聚合相结合,可以合成所有的两亲性星型聚合物。文中论述了两亲性星型聚合物的分类及合成的研究进展,对合成两亲性星型聚合物的三种方法——从核到星法、先臂后星法和自组装法进行了较为详细的论述和评价。这些具有特殊结构的聚合物在不同的溶剂里可以形成丰富的形态,在化学、物理及生物领域具有巨大的潜在用途。

Design and synthesis of arnphiphilic star-shaped polymers with complex architecture are always pursued by polymer chemists in past decades. Thanks to the development of living polymerization, combining the living radical polymerization with ionic polymerization, all kinds of amphiphilic star-shaped polymers are synthesized. In this paper, the classification and the recent studies in synthesis of amphiphilic star-shaped polymers were reviewed. Three routes of synthesis of amphilic star-shaped polymers by core-first, arm-first and assembly were briefly recommended and evaluated. These special architectural polymers may form abundant morphologies in selective solvent or in bulk and have potential applications in chemistry, physics and biology.
