Block copolymer-templated nanoparticles
Block copolymer-templated nanoparticles
Well-defined inorganic or hybrid nanoparticles have a wide range of interesting applications in fields such as optics, drug delivery, electronics and catalysis. Our goal is to use a series of dihydrophilic block copolymers as templates to hydrothermally produce nanoparticles with different shapes, sizes and aspect ratios.
