Nanoemulsion-like Polymersomes for Nanoreactors
… quantitative catalyst recovery The issues in the nanoreactor system and the mechanism of the phase transfer in the biphasic system are discussed. First, a new reversible reaction process with the thermo-responsive shuttling of the IL-filled polymersomes between the phases was designed. In …

Synthesis and study of the micellization behavior of a dual temperature- and pH-responsive PAA-b-PNIPAM block copolymer
… such as a drug delivery system, surfactants, or nanoreactor. Many studies have been done to optimize the performance of these copolymers. In this thesis work, nine dual temperature- and pH-responsive poly(acrylic acid-block-N-isopropylacrylamide) (PAA-b-PNIPAM) diblock copolymers with different …

SELF-ASSEMBLY, DEFORMATION, AND DISASSEMBLY OF SOFT MATERIALS
… (spherical) viruses serve as aggregated nanoreactors. These variably well-ordered nanoreactor lattices demonstrably enhance catalytic activity due to virus porosity. We also investigate the again predominantly electrostatic mechanisms underlying the deformation of soft nanoparticles in …

Functional Materials From Self-Assembled Macrocycles
… into columns and could serve as a `nanoreactor' to form host:guest complex with small molecules such as methylstyrene, divinylbenzene and iodine; a larger macrocycle with phenylethynylene pyridine space has also been synthesized as a precursor for Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) or …

A computational study of DNA four-way junctions and their significance to DNA nanotechnology
… and catalytic function of a DNA tweezer-actuated nanoreactor. The analyses presented here show that rational redesign of the four-way junctions in the device enables the tweezers to be more completely and uniformly closed, while the sequence-level design strategies explored in this study provide …

Virus-mimetic structures through protein engineering and nucleic acid origami
… Finally, in publication IV, a biocatalytic nanoreactor was developed by utilizing DNA origami to spatially organize enzymes and to facilitate the assembly of virus capsid proteins. The findings also highlighted the ability of the assembled and well-defined protein shell to control …

Cucurbiturils, tetrahedral capsules, and porous systems: synthesis, functionalization, and applications
… a tetrahedral capsule was exploited as a nanoreactor for the realization of dehydration reactions in water for synthesis of nitrones. During the second year a new supramolecular system was developed capable of adsorbing a significant amount of carbon dioxide. This system was developed …

Weak polyacid brushes : synthesis, swelling behavior, complex formation and micropatterning
… novel materials for drug delivery, biosensor or nanoreactor applications which rely on the fact that many proteins bind to such systems under preservation of their natural structure.
