Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles (A09)

共轭聚合物纳米颗粒是一种很有前途的功能材料。该项目将通过其颗粒表面定制椭圆形晶体纳米颗粒，以便进行软组装，并可能进一步形成形状。在此基础上，我们将试图揭开合成方案中颗粒形成机制的面纱，以了解这条通往各向异性纳米颗粒的途径的基本原理。具体地说，预计内部颗粒结构的成核具有潜力，也可以实现可以控制聚合物微观结构的活性聚合。ESR方法将有助于阐明这些粒子的形成机制。

Conjugated polymer nanoparticles are promising building blocks for functional materials. This project will tailor elliptical crystalline nanoparticles for soft assembly via their particle surfaces, and possibly further shapes. As a basis, we will seek to unravel the particle formation mechanism in the synthetic protocol developed, to understand the underlying principles of this route to anisotropic nanoparticles. Specifically, the nucleation of the internal particle structure is anticipated to bear potential, also to enable living polymerizations that can control polymer microstructure. ESR methods will be instrumental to elucidate these particle formation mechanisms.
