Programming soft plasmene nanosheets with living RAFT functional polymers

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to use recently discovered plasmene to demonstrate programmable materials properties using living RAFT polymeric ligands. Plasmene is free-standing, one-particle-thick, superlattice sheets of plasmonic nanoparticles. It represents a conceptually new class of two-dimensional metamaterials with broad applications in energy, environment, sensors and optoelectronic devices. This project expects to generate new knowledge and patentable technologies, and advance Australian worldwide standing in the field of nanotechnology and polymer science.
