Nanoparticle-regulated phase behavior of ordered block copolymers
Abstract
Although block copolymer motifs have received considerable
attention as supramolecular templates for inorganic nanoparticles,
experimental observations of a nanostructured diblock copolymer
containing inorganic nanoparticles—supported by theoretical trends
predicted from a hybrid self-consistent field/density functional
theory—confirm that nanoparticle size and selectivity can likewise
stabilize the copolymer nanostructure by increasing its order–
disorder transition temperature.
