摘要: We report on a new method to stabilize nanotube and vesicle structures created from amphiphilic diblock copolymers by means of photopolymerization. Cross-linking with UV light exposure minimizes fluid disruption during stabilization. Additionally, the spatial control afforded focusing or masking initiating source enables stabilization distinct segments individual nanostructures. This contribution demonstrates (1) that vesicles nanotubes formed poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polybutadiene are stabilized in presence water-soluble photoinitiator (2) geometries can be constructed spot-curing, (3) it reveals an application for photopolymerized showing electrophoresis DNA through UV-stabilized nanotube.
