摘要
Readily water-soluble PEGylated amphiphiles containing bis-thiourea-based molecular recognition units at the interface of hydrophobic and hydrophilic blocks are developed. Self-assembly of these amphiphiles is found to be dependent on the exact chemical composition of the hydrophobic component. Elongated, spherical, and disk-like micelles are formed with the change in hydrophobic group from stearyl (2A), oleyl (2B), and dodecanol (2C), respectively. The length of the rod-like elongated micelles formed by 2A could be tuned by thermal treatment as well. Synthesis and detailed structural characterization of these amphiphiles by TEM, DSC, synchrotron SAXS techniques are reported. Organic solvent-free direct aqueous encapsulation of doxorubicin, an anticancer drug into these nanostructures is demonstrated.
