Rapid self-assembly of brush block copolymers to photonic crystals.
The reduced chain entanglement of brush polymers over their linear analogs drastically lowers the energetic barriers to reorganization. In this report, we demonstrate the rapid self-assembly of brush block copolymers to nanostructures with photonic bandgaps spanning the entire visible spectrum, from ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared (NIR). Linear relationships were observed between the peak wav...
متن کاملControlled supramolecular self-assembly of large nanoparticles in amphiphilic brush block copolymers.
To date the self-assembly of ordered metal nanoparticle (NP)/block copolymer hybrid materials has been limited to NPs with core diameters (D(core)) of less than 10 nm, which represents only a very small fraction of NPs with attractive size-dependent physical properties. Here this limitation has been circumvented using amphiphilic brush block copolymers as templates for the self-assembly of orde...
متن کاملBlock Copolymers as Photonic Bandgap Materials
Block copolymers self-assemble into one-, two-, and three-dimensional periodic equilibrium structures, which can exhibit photonic bandgaps. This paper outlines a methodology for producing photonic crystals at optical length scales from block copolymers. Techniques for enhancing the intrinsic dielectric contrast between the block copolymer domains, as well as increasing the characteristic microd...
متن کاملControlled Supramolecular Assembly of Micelle-Like Gold Nanoparticles in PS-<italic>b</italic>-P2VP Diblock Copolymers via Hydrogen Bonding
Ligand molecules tethered on the surface of inorganic nanoparticles play an important role in the synthesis and application of nanoparticles due to their dramatic influence over surface properties. Tailoring of nanoparticle surfaces with ligands is therefore a key factor for stabilizing nanoparticles in various solvents as well as for controlling hierarchical assembly of nanoparticles to give f...
