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 ... -
Particle Distributions in a Block Copolymer Nanocomposite
Matsen, Mark W.; Thompson, Russell B. (American Chemical Society, 2008)Self-consistent-field theory is used to predict the center-of-mass distribution of spherical nanoparticles embedded in the lamellar phase of a diblock copolymer melt. The calculation is performed in the dilute limit, where ... -
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, ...
