Metal Nanoparticle Synthesis and Organization in 1D, 2D and 3D Structures Formed by Amphiphilic Block Copolymers

摘要

Significant effort has been directed to the synthesis of metal nanostructures because of their unique optoelectronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties, and corresponding potential applications. Among several synthetic approaches, template-directed methods using inorganic mesoporous materials, surfactants, or block copolymers as templates, have been widely used to control the nanostructure. Templates based on self-assembly can be attractive for synthesis because of their reproducible formation and tunable structure and characteristic dimensions.
