Modulation of polymerization rate of N-carboxyanhydrides in a biphasic system

The recent advances in accelerated polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides(NCAs)offer an effective strat-egy to simplify the preparation of polypeptide materials.However,the fine-tuning of polymerization ki-netics,which is critical to differentiate the main polymerization and the side reactions,remains largely unexplored.Herein we report the modulation of polymerization rate of NCA in a water/oil biphasic sys-tem.By altering the aqueous pH,the initial location of the initiators,and the pKa of initiating amines,we observed the change in polymerization time from several minutes to a few hours.Due to the high in-terfacial activity and low pKa value,controlled polymerization was observed from multi-amine initiators even if they were initially located in the aqueous phase.This work not only improves our understand-ing on the biphasic polymerization mechanism,but also facilitates preparation of versatile polypeptide materials.
