聚合物纳米材料广泛应用在生物医药、电子信息、纳米反应器、气体吸附分离等领域。聚合诱导自组装是合成聚合物纳米材料的新方法，与传统的自组装方法相比具有明显的优点，如反应固含量高、操作简便等。目前聚合诱导自组装的研究以热引发自由基聚合为主，但是由于热聚合的特性，这种组装体系在合成单分散囊泡以及生物相关材料等方面受到一定限制，并且反应速度也比较慢。本项目把光引发聚合与聚合诱导自组装结合起来，构筑一种新型的光引发聚合诱导自组装体系，利用光引发聚合低温、快速以及光控等特点解决目前聚合诱导自组装存在的问题。从而实现在常温及低温下快速制备多种形貌的聚合物纳米材料、各种响应性聚合物纳米材料以及蛋白-聚合物纳米材料偶联体等。该项目的研究无论从学术或者实际应用的角度来说都是一项很有意义的工作。

Polymer nanomaterials have been widely used in various areas, such as biomedicine, electronic device, nanoreactor, gas adsorption and separation. Compare to the traditional self-assembly method, polymerization induced self-assembly is a more facile approach to prepare polymer nanomaterials with a high solids content. The current research on polymerization induced self-assembly is mainly focused on thermal initiated radical polymerization, thus the reaction time is long and the reaction temperature is high, which will restrict the further application of polymerization induced self-assembly. In this project, we will combine photoinitiating technology with polymerization induced self-assembly, and construct a new kind of polymerization induced self-assembly based on photointiated polymerization. Due to the use of photoinitiating technology, this method will have several advantages, such as low temperature and short reaction time, which can solve the problems derived from thermal initiated radical polymerization. Based on this new method, various polymer nanomaterials such as environment-responsive polymer nanomaterials, protein-polymer nanomaterials conjugates will be synthesized. This project is significative both on theoretical research and applications.
