Morphological switching of unimolecular micelles of ternary graft copolymers in different solvents
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT A series of ternary graft copolymers with poly(3‐azido‐2‐hydroxypropyl methacrylate) (P(GMA‐N 3 )) as the main chain, end‐functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (MPEG), poly( t ‐butyl acrylate) (PtBA), and poly(2‐cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate) (PCEMA) as the side‐chains, was synthesized via the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and click chemistry. The formation of well‐defined ternary graft copolymers was confirmed by both size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 1 H NMR spectroscopy The loose and worm‐like morphology of the ternary graft copolymer in a common solvent ( N , N ‐dimethylformamide) for both the backbone and the grafts was directly visualized via atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average height, width, and length of these solvated macromolecules were about 1.5, 17, and 45 nm, respectively. The ternary graft copolymers underwent self‐assembly in different selective solvents (dichloromethane, methanol, and water) and thus yielded unimolecular micelles (UMs) with different morphologies. The morphological transitions in response to variations in the selective solvents was investigated by AFM as well as/or transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Experimental results showed that the micellar morphology of the ternary graft copolymer changed from a pearl‐necklace to a worm‐like structure and then to a spherical structure when the selective solvent was respectively changed from CH 2 Cl 2 to CH 3 OH and then to H 2 O. SEC characterization revealed that the compact globules formed in H 2 O with PCEMA/PtBA as the hydrophobic core arose due to intramolecular folding. Thus, multicompartment UMs were generated. The volume ratio of the multicompartment UMs formed in H 2 O was in close agreement with their molecular weight ratio. The hydrodynamic diameters ( D h ) of the acquired multicompartment UMs and their polydispersity indices were characterized by dynamic light scattering. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
