title: Core-bound polymeric micellar system based on photocrosslinking of thymine.
abstract: Bioinspired core-bound polymer micellar aggregates were synthesized by photocrosslinking thymine-functionalized cores using short UV irradiation; H-bonding between thymines in the core is also believed to increase micellar aggregate stability.
