Abstract
A facile approach is established to prepare zwitterionic nanocapsules (ZNCs) with controlled diameters and core/shell structures based on an inverse reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion interfacial polymerization method. The diameters and core volume fractions of ZNCs can be tuned finely from 61 to 220 nm and from 0.22 to 0.61, respectively. Furthermore, the thermal-responsive property of the prepared zwitterionic nanocapsules was systematically studied relating to core/shell ratios and cross-linking degrees. These ZNCs could be particularly useful in constructing polymeric materials with well-defined nanoporous structures for nano-void membranes, drug delivery devices and catalytic carriers.
