Bioinspired core‐crosslinked micelles from thymine‐functionalized amphiphilic block copolymers: Hydrogen bonding and photo‐crosslinking study

Bioinspired core‐bound polymeric micelles, based on hydrogen bonding and photo‐crosslinking, of thymine have been prepared from poly(vinylbenzylthymine)‐ b ‐poly(vinylbenzyltriethylammonium chloride). The amphiphilic block copolymer was synthesized by 2,2‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐oxyl‐mediated living radical polymerization in water/ethylene glycol solution. Micelle characterization and critical micelle concentration measurements demonstrated that...
