Abstract
This paper demonstrates the universal character of nano-spheres, formed from block copolymers of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-block-polystyrene (PDMAEMA-b-PSt) via polymerization induced self-assembly (PISA), as multifunctional templates for tailored nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis. Due to the presence of basic amine groups located within the shell of spherical PDMAEMA-b-PSt copolymers nano-objects, three types of inorganic precursors were loaded into the shells through electrostatic interactions. Both redox-type and sol-gel chemistry were used to successfully immobilize the in situ formed gold, or silica and titania NPs, respectively. The hybrids could be potentially used as catalysts or dielectric materials.
