Making Organic-Inorganic Nanocomposites via Selective Dispersion of PS-Tethered SiO2 Particles in Polystyrene-Block-Polymethylmethacrylate Copolymer

SiO2 nanoparticles have been dispersed selectively in the polystyrene (PS) microdomain of polystyrene-block-polymethylmethacrylate (PS-b-PMMA) block copolymer via the blending of PS-b-PMMA with PS-tethered SiO2. As observed by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, the incorporati...
