By including polymer segments that are sensitive to three different
stimuli,“schizophrenic”, triply-responsive block copolymers were
obtained. RAFT copolymerization with a boronic acid containing
monomer led to block copolymers capable of forming both
micelles and reverse micelles, with the self-assembly being
governed by the temperature, pH, and sugar concentration of the
local environment.

Showcasing research from Professor Brent Sumerlin’s
laboratory, Southern Methodist University, USA.

...although one conformation of
a molecule is more stable than
other possible conformations,
this does not mean that the
molecule is compelled to react
a s i f i t w e r e i n t h i s
conformation or that it is
rigidly fixed in any way.
