Hairy Nanoparticles with Hard Polystyrene Cores and Soft Polydimethylsiloxane Shells: One‐Pot Synthesis by Living Anionic Polymerization and Characterization
Abstract:Hairy core–shell nanoparticles have emerged as a unique class of polymeric nanocomposites. Hairy nanoparticles (HNPs) with hard polystyrene (PS) cores and soft polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) shells have been synthesized by living anionic polymerization via “one‐pot synthesis” approach. The size and composition of both core and shell components can be controlled. The synthetic approach produces an entirely new class of HNPs. Differential scanning calorimetry thermograms of the core–shell nanoparticles show two dis… Show more
“…The obtained HNPs self-assembled into hierarchical suprastructures. 38 If the production of a material results in the improvement of performance with a cheaper delivery of service, that material becomes more attractive and protable. According to numerous studies, the complexation of polymers with chiral materials to get chiral polymeric structures has been achieved.…”
Chiral hairy nanoparticles (HNP), prepared by complexation of achiral HNPs with R- or S-mandelic acid, self-assemble into toroidal or donut like structures.
