报告摘要：

 

The control over molecular structure enabled by modern synthetic techniques has led to a new level of control over the assembly of molecules and macromolecules in functional materials. We have designed and synthesized several classes of block and star-block copolymers with stimulus-responsive components and metal-binding sites. These polymers form assemblies with properties that are dependent upon specific conditions. For example, we have investigated a range of synthetic systems that are designed to assemble in water into smaller micellar aggregates at low temperatures and larger vesicles at higher temperatures. A number of factors, including block size and extent of interblock interactions, appear to be important in controlling transformation rate. The design of these and other systems, including metal-functionalized polymers and conjugated polymers for photovoltaic applications, and our efforts to better understand the behavior of the resulting materials will be discussed.
