Abstract:Building novel functional nanomaterials with a polymer is one of the most dynamic research fields at present. Here, three amphiphilic block copolymers of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative motifs (MQ) with excellent coordination function were synthesized by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization (RAFT) polymerization. The coordination micelles were prepared through the self-assembly process, which the MQ motifs were dispersed in the hydrophobic polystyrene (PSt) blocks and hydrophilic Poly(… Show more
“…One way of circumventing this issue is to use macromolecular ligands, which can be easily prepared via RAFT polymerization. Here, a multiply-binding copolymer design has been proven to be very effective: one type of monomer contains an anchoring group for QD binding, such as thiol, 164 carboxyl, 146,147 imidazole 112,188,189 and 8-hydroxyquinoline 241 moieties. Another part of the polymer adjusts dispersibility and provides additional properties.…”
Reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization is a powerful tool for the precise formation of macromolecular building blocks that can be used for the construction of well-defined nanocomposites.
