Nanoparticle-Driven Assembly of Block Copolymers: A Simple Route to Ordered Hybrid Materials
The addition of nanoparticles that selectively hydrogen bond with one of the segments of a block copolymer is shown to induce order in otherwise disordered systems. This enables the fabrication of well-ordered hybrid materials with spherical, cylindrical, or lamellar domains at particle loadings of more than 4096, as evidenced by TEM and SAXS. The approach described is simple and applicable to a wide range of nanoparticles and block copolymers, and it lays the groundwork for the design of cooperatively assembled functional devices.
