Our group published noble polymer self-assembled structures named colloidal inverse bicontinuous cubic membranes of block copolymers, so-called polymer cubosomes. Similar with conventional polymer self-assembled structures, polymer cubosomes are only usable in aqueous media. In order to utilize the polymer cubosomes in non-aqueous environment, we designed cross-linkable dendritic linear polyethylene glycol-block-poly(styrene-ran-(4-vinylphenyl)indene) (PEG-b-P(St-ran-SI)) toward robust polymer cubosome structure. When our polymer cubosome system was exposed UV light around 365 nm, it would be cross-linked because of photo-dimerization effect of indene. We synthesized dendritic-linear block copolymers containing varied indene proportions to find out polymer cubosome which can endure common organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and chloroform. We expect that this cross-linked polymer cubosome can be used as a catalytic reactor available in versatile ways. |
