We report, for the first time, a nanoscale control of the spatial distribution of semiconducting tetrapod (TP) nanocrystals within block copolymer particles. Polystyrene (PS) block copolymer (BCP)/CdSe TP nanocrystal hybrid particles were prepared by the nanoprecipitation of TP/BCP mixtures into methanol. The BCPs consisted of short, polar terminal block bearing methyl disulfide anchoring moiety which...
Nacre is composed of highly ordered organic/inorganic hybrid nanolaminated structures showing exceptional toughness. However, artificial fabrication of such nanoscale layered structures still remains a challenge in the area of nanocomposite films. In this study, we fabricated organic/inorganic hybrid nanolaminated films by using the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition method, and obtained high fracture...
In this study, we demonstrate that the adsorbed amount of respective layers in spin self-assembled multilayer films can be controlled and predictable using an empirical power-law equation in terms of spin speed and initial solution concentration. The amount of a pair of polyelectrolytes deposited per bilayer rapidly increases with increasing polyelectrolyte concentration up to 12.5 mM while the solution...
Aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene oxide-b-(dl-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid)-b-ethylene oxide) with two different molecular weights (550–3.4K–550 and 750–3.5K–750) show the change in turbidity as a function of temperature. The variation in turbidity is also found to be independent of block copolymer concentration. By increasing the molecular weight of the hydrophilic PEO end block with the molecular...
Processible poly(methylsilsesquioxane)s (PMSSQs) were prepared in refluxing THF solutions under nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of HCl catalyst. It was found that various reaction parameters such as concentration, temperature, reaction time, relative amount of water, and relative amount of acid catalyst could affect the molecular weight, microstructure, and the amount of functional end-groups...
