Suprapolymer structures from nanostructured polymer particles.
Divide and conquer: Polymer nanoparticles with phase-separation structures prepared with block copolymers and homopolymer blends were used to fabricate unique suprapolymer structures by cross-linking one polymer moiety and dissolving the other (see scheme; PI = polyisoprene, PSt = polystyrene).
