Wen-Ming Wan and Cai-Yuan Pan have developed a strategy for preparing multiple nanostructural materials. The method creates the materials directly from controlled radical dispersion polymerization and polymerization-induced self-assembling and re-organization in one pot. Various morphologies including spherical micelles, nanowires, tubes, vesicles, large compound vesicles etc. can be prepared directly in this way.
