In this review, we highlight the progress realized in recent years on light-responsive
polymers. More precisely, we provide some guidelines towards the rational design of photo …

Stimuli-responsive polymers have been attracting great interest within the scientific
community for several decades. The unique feature to respond to small changes in the …

Stimuli-responsive block copolymer micelles are the topic of intense research since they are
able to show sharp and eventually reversible responses to various environmental changes …

Polymers featuring photolabile groups are the subject of intense research because they
allow the alteration of polymer properties simply by irradiation. In particular, the o-nitrobenzyl …

The association state of light-responsive block copolymer (BCP) micelles in aqueous
solution can be altered, often reversibly, by light. Driven by the potential application in …

Polymers with properties well-controlled by minor environmental variations have been
widely utilized in nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanomedicine. Herein, the …

Molar mass dispersity in polymers affects a wide range of important material properties, yet
there are few synthetic methods that systematically generate unimodal distributions with …

Light-responsive block copolymers have been prepared with a crystallizable core-forming
poly (ferrocenyldimethylsilane)(PFS) block, a corona-forming segment of poly (2 …

Reaction-induced phase transitions (RIPTs) encompass a broad range of synthetic
strategies that use chemical reactions to drive the organization of macromolecules into …

The synthetic accessibility and tolerance to structural modification of phototriggered
compounds (PTs) based on the ortho-nitrobenzene (ONB) protecting group have …
