Following the Formation of Single-Chain Nanoparticles Generated by Interblock Crosslinking within Diblock Copolymers: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study with Adjustable Interaction Strength between the Blocks

Key Points

The research aims to investigate the folding and crosslinking behavior of diblock copolymers in solution.
Utilized a bead-spring model for polymer simulations
Conducted Monte Carlo simulations to analyze crosslinking
Investigated the effects of interaction strength between blocks

Abstract

We investigated the folding and crosslinking of diblock copolymers with interblock-crosslinkable units in dilute solution. We used a bead-spring model for the polymer and Monte Carlo simulations for the crosslinking....
