Core cross-linked star (CCS) polymers with a large number of arms connected to a densely cross-linked core, which is much smaller than the dimension of the arm, are an important class of star polymers.CCS polymers have been applied in many areas due to their compact structure,core-shell isolation and many surface functional groups.In this proposal, we plan to investigate novel methods to efficiently produce CCS polymers using RAFT-mediated heterogeneous polymerizations. Specifically, we will develop a quasi one-pot approach to make water-soluble CCS polymers, which will involve the synthesis of arm polymers in homogeneous aqueous solution, followed by cross-linking the arm polymers into CCS polymers in heterogeneous polymerization system using water as the dispersant.We will also develop heterogeneous polymerization methods to efficiently produce mikto arm CCS polymers. After well-defined CCS polymers are successfully prepared, we will investigate their applications in bioimaging and drug delivery,as emulsifiers in Pickering emulsion,as macromolecular RAFT agents in heterogeneous polymerization,in self-assembly and as building blocks in the construction of three dimensional networks.
