Since the discovery of polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), convenient synthesis of concentrated block copolymer nano-assemblies dispersed in solvent has been achieved. Now, application of block copolymer nano-assemblies should be paid more attention. In this study, corona-cross-linked block copolymer nanoparticles of poly[dimethylacrylamide-co-(diacetone acrylamide)]-b-polystyrene [P(DMA-co-DAAM)-b-PS] containing the poly(DAAM) segment in the hydrophilic P(DMA-co-DAAM) block are synthesized initially by PISA following dispersion RAFT polymerization and then by covalent intraparticle cross-linking through the poly(DAAM) segment and adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH). Coating application of the corona-cross-linked block copolymer nano-assemblies is tried, and much higher water resistance of the corona-cross-linked block copolymer nano-assemblies than that of the linear block copolymer nano-assemblies is demonstrated.
