Unlike small-molecules, polymer nanoparticles require navigation of a more complex parameter space to access the desired performance. In addition to the chemical reaction, it is desirable to optimise the polymer molecular weight distribution, particle size and polydispersity index. To solve this <em>many-objective</em> optimisation problem, a self-driving laboratory is constructed which synthesises and characterises polymer nanoparticles (incorporating NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography and dynamic light scattering). This facilitates the autonomous exploration of parameter space with programmable screens or AI driven optimisation campaigns <em>via</em> a cloud-based framework. The RAFT polymerisation of diacetone acrylamide mediated by a poly(dimethylacrylamide) macro-CTA was optimised to maximise monomer conversion, minimise molar mass dispersity, and target 80 nm particles with minimised polydispersity index. A full-factorial screen between 6- and 30-minutes residence time, between 68 and 80 °C and between 100 and 600 for the [monomer] : [CTA] ratio enabled mapping of the reaction space. This facilitated <em>in-silico</em> simulations using a range of algorithms – Thompson sampling efficient multi-objective optimisation (TSEMO), radial basis function neural network/reference vector evolutionary algorithm (RBFNN/RVEA) and multi objective particle swarm optimisation, hybridised with an evolutionary algorithm (EA-MOPSO), which were then applied to in-lab optimisations. This approach accounts for an unprecedented number of objectives for closed-loop optimisation of a synthetic polymerisation; and enabled the use of algorithms operated from different geographical locations to the reactor platform.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Chemistry","volume":"16 12","pages":"Pages 1355-1364"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/py/d5py00123d?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143385598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An interesting, and potentially useful, feature of this system is the possibility to incorporate a pendant unit at the carbazole nitrogen (N) site; a variety of segments, such as linear, branched, or chiral alkyl chains, were installed to examine if the folding of the chain is influenced by the nature of the pendant segment.

This process is based on an unusual, cooling-induced transition in polymer self-assembly from spherical to worm-like micelles, for which the PheOzi units are decisive. Here, we investigate this phenomenon further by introducing new variants of amphiphilic pPheOzi-based copolymers to explore the variability of the system. Changing the arrangement of the MeOx and PheOzi constitutional repeat units enables investigation of the influence of the polymer architecture on the thermogelation. We found that a triblock architecture is superior to diblock, gradient and star-like polymer architectures in terms of efficient order–order transition-based thermogelation.
