Synthesis, characterization and amphiphilic self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles functionalized with polymer brushes of variable composition and chain length

The synthesis, characterization and amphiphilic self-assembly of polymer brush functionalized nanoparticles (PBNPs) using a block copolymer template is described herein. To study the effect of polymer brush composition on self-assembly, four samples were created using a mixture of PS-b-PAA (polystyr...
