The fabrication of crystalline polymers is synthetically challenging and intellectually stimulating. Amphiphilic block copolymers self-assemble in water to form various vesicle-like architectures depicting curved interfaces, which are shape-translational symmetry incommensurate crystals and ubiquitous. Interestingly, the mechanical properties of the polymeric system improve by forming a crystalline structure. Herein, we for the first time, report the synthesis of a new click monomer (CM), (1-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl) ethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl) methyl methacrylate via azide-alkyne cycloaddition ‘Click reaction’. Furthermore, this monomer was co-polymerized with dimethyl aminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA) via free radical aqueous co-polymerization to generate chimaeric crystalsomes (DPCM) through self-organization of polymeric subunits that structurally resemble classical polymersomes. In an aqueous …
