Abstract

CO2-switchable multi-compartment micelles (MCMs) with a segregated corona formed by a purpose-designed ABC triblock copolymer are reported. They can be switched "on" and "off" when sequentially treated with CO2 and N2, due to the protonation-deprotonation of the tertiary amine groups along the polymer skeleton.
