Hierarchical Materials Based on Oriented Self-assembly and Encoded Interactions of Nanoparticles

摘要

The combination of soft nanoparticle synthesis with polymers with special surface activity allows the generation of novel hybrid superstructures with sometimes exciting property combinations. There are different techniques to control the interplay between the polymer and the second material phase, namely simple steric/passive templating, control of surface energy and growth effects (dynamic templates), as well as synergistic structure formation by self assembly.
