Reducing the use of solvents is an important aim of green chemistry. Using micelles self-
assembled from amphiphilic molecules dispersed in water (considered a green solvent) has …

This work describes the first rigorous example of a single-component block copolymer
system forming unconventional spherical phases. A library of discrete block polymers with …

Biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids are monodisperse just as low-
molar-mass organic compounds are. However, synthetic macromolecules contain mixtures …

As size-amplified analogues of canonical macromolecules, polymeric chains built up by
“giant” monomers represent an experimental realization of the “beads-on-a-string” model at …

This work quantitatively explores the effect of chain length heterogeneity on self-assembly
behaviors of block copolymer, focusing on the narrow distribution region. A library of discrete …

As nanotechnology continues to push the boundaries across disciplines, there is an
increasing need for engineering nanomaterials with atomic-level precision for self-assembly …

In biological systems, it is well-known that the activities and functions of biomacromolecules
are dictated not only by their primary chemistries, but also by their secondary, tertiary, and …

The inherent uncertainty of chain length in synthetic polymers casts doubt on the explicit
understanding of fundamental principles. This study quantitatively assesses the critical role …

The rapidly growing field of sequence-defined polymers is inspired by highly defined
biomacromolecules, such as peptides or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which occur in …
