Block Copolymer-Directed Assembly of Nanoparticles: Forming Mesoscopically Ordered Hybrid Materials
Thompson, Russell B.; Ginzburg, Valeriy V.; Matsen, Mark W.; Balazs, Anna C. (American Chemical Society, 2002)Mixtures of diblock copolymers and nanoscopic spherical particles can yield well-ordered hybrid materials, which can be used for separation processes, catalysis, and optoelectronic applications. Predicting the morphologies ... -
Effect of Nanoscopic Particles on the Mesophase Structure of Diblock Copolymers
Lee, Jae Youn; Thompson, Russell B.; Jasnow, David; Balazs, Anna C. (American Chemical Society, 2002)Introduction. The fabrication of novel biomimetic photonic and electronic materials requires the manipulation of both organic and inorganic materials at the nanometer length scale. One possible means of achieving this level ... -
Entropically Driven Formation of Hierarchically Ordered Nanocomposites
Lee, Jae Youn; Thompson, Russell B.; Jasnow, David; Balazs, Anna C. (American Physical Society, 2002)Using theoretical models, we undertake the first investigation into the rich behavior that emerges when binary particle mixtures are blended with microphase-separating copolymers. We isolate an example of coupled self-assembly ... -
Predicting the Mesophases of Copolymer-Nanoparticle Composites
Thompson, Russell B.; Ginzburg, Valeriy V.; Matsen, Mark W.; Balazs, Anna C. (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2001)The interactions between mesophase-forming copolymers and nanoscopic par- ticles can lead to highly organized hybrid materials. The morphology of such composites depends not only on the characteristics of the copolymers, ... -
Self-assembly of a binary mixture of particles and diblock copolymers
Lee, Jae Youn; Thompson, Russell B.; Jasnow, David; Balazs, Anna C. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2003)Using theoretical models, we undertake the first investigation into the synergy and rich phase behavior that emerges when binary particle mixtures are blended with microphase- separating copolymers. We isolate an example ... -
Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Nanoparticle-Coil “Tadpole” Macromolecules
Lee, Jae Youn; Balazs, Anna C.; Thompson, Russell B.; Hill, Randall M. (American Chemical Society, 2004)There has been considerable fascination with the self-assembling behavior of amphiphilic chainlike molecules that range from short-chain surfactants to high molecular weight block copolymers. The self-assembly of simple ... -
