Surfactant-Templated Synthesis of 1D Single-Crystalline Polymer Nanostructures

摘要

In the past decade, there has been great interest in constructing organic nanostructured materials.[1]-[3] Compared with inorganic materials, organic nanostructures are expected to play an important role in advanced technology owing to their mechanical stability, rich variety of structures and components, convenient chemical modification, and efficient processability.[4]-[6] The traditional synthetic pathway for deriving nanoscale organic materials is microemulsion polymerization.[7], [8] The method is useful for preparing nano- or microspherical polymer particles, however, one-dimensional (1D) polymer nanostructures are still rare. Recently, many methods, including amphiphilic self-assemblies, electrospray deposition, spin-casting, and a sonochemical process, have been widely developed for the preparation of organic nanostructures.[9], [10] However, they suffer from the limitations of needing specialized equipment and conditions or tedious procedures.
