The need for advanced materials for photonics, signal processing, biological imaging, and sensing has spurred a growing field of research into tuning material properties at the nano-scale. Block copolymers are synthetic molecules with a remarkable tendency to self-organize into complex colloidal structures of various morphologies, including micelles and vesicles. Metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles are exciting candidates as building blocks for a diverse range of nanostructured materials, due to unique optical and electronic properties that can be tuned as a function of size. For applications in devices and advanced materials, controlling the assembly of nanoparticles and block copolymers in polymeric and nanocomposite materials is a critical challenge.
