Fig. 1: ROPI-CDSA scheme and self-assembly kinetics.

From: Ring-opening polymerization-induced crystallization-driven self-assembly of poly-L-lactide-block-polyethylene glycol block copolymers (ROPI-CDSA)

a ROPI-CDSA scheme. b Turbidity measurements (UV/Vis 600 nm) for PLLA DP 45, 60, 75, and 90 at 10% solids w/w, with PEG DP 45 standard error calculated from 3 runs. The data show that the self-assembly kinetics vary as a function of PLLA DP, where increasing DP results in a faster rate of self-assembly. c Photographs showing the difference in turbidity for samples 9 (PLLA45-b-PEG45 10% solids w/w left) and 15 (PLLA90-b-PEG45 10% solids w/w right).
