Amphiphilic homopolymers form versatile supramolecular assemblies in aqueous phase and in organic solvents. In contrast to amphiphilic block copolymers, each repeat unit in the polymer chain contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic functionalities. The environment-dependent assemblies from these polymers have been characterized by light scattering and electron microscopy. From being nanoreactors for photocatalyzed reactions to nanocontainers for sequestering peptides, these polymers have been successfully used in a number of applications. These assemblies are unique in that they are kinetically trapped in the initially more...
