Quantifying the reversible association of thermosensitive nanoparticles

Zaccone, Alessio ; Crassous, Jérôme J. ; Béri, Benjamin ; Ballauff, Matthias

In: Physics Review Letters, 2011, vol. 107, no. 16, p. 168303

Under many conditions, biomolecules and nanoparticles associate by means of attractive bonds, due to hydrophobic attraction. Extracting the microscopic association or dissociation rates from experimental data is complicated by the dissociation events and by the sensitivity of the binding force to temperature (T). Here we introduce a theoretical model that combined with light-scattering...

Crystallization-induced aggregation of block copolymer micelles: influence of crystallization kinetics on morphology

Mihut, Adriana M. ; Crassous, Jérôme J. ; Schmalz, Holger ; Ballauff, Matthias

In: Colloid & Polymer Science, 2010, vol. 288, no. 5, p. 573-578

We present a systematic investigation of the crystallization and aggregation behavior of a poly(1,2-butadiene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymer (PB-b-PEO) in n-heptane. n-Heptane is a poor solvent for PEO and at 70°C the block copolymer self-assembles into spherical micelles composed of a liquid PEO core and a soluble PB corona.
