"Charge-shifting" polyacrylates

"Charge-shifting" polyacrylates
RAFT-polymerized cationic polyacrylates with tunable compositions, molar masses, and low dispersities spontaneously associate DNA to form polyplexes at a low N/P ratio. After polyplexe incubation, the “charge-shifting” behavior of polyacrylates leads to DNA release without any trigger.
