A new route to form multiple morphologies was outlined using amphiphilic graft copolymers with interesting biological and pharmacological properties by proper adjustment of backbone and graft chain length.
Polymer‐encapsulated silica: An imidazolium‐based room‐temperature ionic liquid (PyC12MIM+Br−) bearing a terminal pyrrole group was synthesized. Using this novel polymerizable surfactant as a template in a sol–gel process, highly ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica, containing aligned superlong polypyrrole nanowires, was successfully fabricated within the silica channels (see picture).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
