Chemical Research in Chinese Universities Aims and scope

Abstract

Polyisocyanides and their block copolymers have widespread applications in many fields due to their unique helix and self-assembly properties. At first, the latest progress in the preparation of helical polyisocyanide-based block copolymers via the method of one-pot sequential controlled synthesis and stepwise polymerization was highlighted in this minireview. Various categories of helical polyisocyanide-based copolymers including amphiphilic block copolymers, UV-response block copolymers, π-conjugated block copolymers, etc., have been prepared successfully. Moreover, recent advances in the self-assembly and circularly polarized luminescence performance of amphiphilic and π-conjugated helical polyisocyanide-based copolymers have been introduced, respectively. We hope this minireview will not only inspire more interest in developing helical polyisocyanide-based copolymers, but also encourage further progress in the field of building artificial functional materials.
