| Research Abstract |
This work deals with the design of self-folding polymers via living radical polymerization to create precision nanospaces for unique functions. Amphiphilic functional random copolymers with precision primary structure were efficiently self-folded in solvents (water, chloroform, fluorinated solvent) with intramolecular non-covalent (hydrophobic, fluorous, hydrogen-bonding) interaction to form precision nanospaces within their self-folding copolymers. Importantly, the following points were achieved: 1) establishment of design scope of self-folding polymers; 2) characterization of self-folding polymers and resulting inner spaces/cavities; 3) stabilization and functionalization of self-folding polymers; 4) construction of precision nano cavities (by molecular imprinting) and unique compartments (by the self-folding of star polymers); 5) creation of functions (molecular recognition, catalysis).
