Enhanced Collective Electron Transport Behavior
in Au Nanoparticles Self-Assembled in the
Poly(4-vinylpyridine) Nanodomains of a
Poly(styrene-b-4-vinylpyridine) Diblock Copolymer
Ultra Thin Film
Collective electron transport behavior of Au
NPs sequestered in the spherical P4VP nanodomains
was quasi 1-D, as opposed to the 3-D behavior
displayed by Au NPs that had been dispersed
randomly in P4VP.

Hierarchically Organized Nanoparticle
Mesostructure Arrays Formed in Block
Copolymer-Nanoparticle Mixtures
Redissolved In toluene
The localization of nanoparticles in block
copolymer will have more potential for novel
functional applications, such as next generation
catalysts, nanosenors, photonic bandgap
materials, organic memory devices and
nanostructured solar cells.
