Hazrat Hussain has been working as Scientist-I at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) (Singapore) since 2006. He earned his M.Sc. and M.Phil. in Physical Chemistry from Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad (Pakistan) and his Ph.D. in 2004 from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in the group of Professor J. Kressler. He was a postdoctoral fellow with Professor I. Hamley and Professor R. Bushby at the University of Leeds (UK). His current research interests are amphiphilic copolymers for various applications including consumer care and antifouling.


Elkin Amado earned his Chemical Engineering degree from the National University of Colombia, his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Polymer Science in 2009 from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg under the direction of Professors A. Blume and J. Kressler. After a PostDoc at the Institute Charles Gerhardt in Montpellier with Professor J.-J. Robin, he joined the Institute of Chemistry at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg where his research is dedicated to responsive polyphilic polymers and lipid membranes.


Jörg Kressler has been a Full Professor in Physical Chemistry at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg since 1997. He earned his M.Sc. in Chemistry and his Ph.D. from the Technical University Dresden. He was a PostDoc with Professor F.E. Karasz at University of Massachusetts at Amherst and with Professor T. Inoue at Tokyo Institute of Technology. His current research interests are amphiphilic polymers and biomedical materials.

Abstract

This review deals with the synthesis, physical properties, and applications of amphiphilic block copolymers based on hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) or hydrophobic poly(propylene oxide) (PPO). Oligomeric PEO and PPO are frequently functionalized by converting their OH end groups into macroinitiators for atom-transfer radical polymerization. They are then used to generate additional blocks as part of complex copolymer architectures. Adding hydrophobic and hydrophilic blocks, respectively, leads to polymers with amphiphilic character in water. They are surface active and form micelles above a critical micellization concentration. Together with recent developments in post-polymerization techniques through quantitative coupling reactions (‘click’ chemistry) a broad variety of tailored functionalities can be introduced to the amphiphilic block copolymers. Examples are outlined including stimuli responsiveness, membrane penetrating ability, formation of multi-compartmentalized micelles, etc.
