Rapid and scalable self-assembly of an amphiphilic 21-arm star copolymer, (polystyrene-block-polyethylenegly-col)21[(PS-b-PEG)21] in aqueous solution has been performed by reverse solvent exchange procedure. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) revealthe formation of nanopa...

Herein novel multicompartment nanoparticles (MCNs) that combine highstability and cargo loading capacity are developed. The MCNs are fabricatedby crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of a tailor-made 21 arm starpolymer, poly(L-lactide)[poly(tert-butyl acrylate)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)]20[PLLA(PtBA-b-PEG)2...

The direct construction of protein-like multicompartment nanoparticles (MCNs) possessing hydrophilic/hydrophobic subdomains is a contemporary challenge. Herein, we present the first example of such MCNs via self-assembly of the specially designed A(BC)20 star polymer in an aqueous solution. The topology of the 21-ar...
