“…Recently, various methods have been utilized to overcome these problems, such as the use of cosolvent mixtures [11] or binary solvent mixtures [12] and surface modification of QDs. [10,13,14] The most elegant approach is to chemically tether CPs on the QD surface (i.e., preparing CP-QD nanocomposites), hence enabling direct electronic coupling between CPs and QDs. [10,15] Notably, this strategy has only recently been developed and has been primarily implemented by ligand exchange, which permits the derivatization of the composite with a broad range of functional groups.…”

“…They also include the functionalization of NPs with polymers to achieve higher and tunable surface-density of shell/brush, to tailor properties of NPs, as well as to promote compatibility and processibility. For example, to assemble AuNP films with ordered structures, Genson et al 113 and Zubarev et al 114 prepared AuNPs functionalized with amphiphilic polybutadiene-poly(ethylene glycol) (PB-PEG) V-shaped arms by esterification of PB-PEG chains to mercaptophenol-stabilized AuNPs (Fig. 3).…”

Hybrid functional materials, constituting both inorganic and organic components, are considered potential platforms for applications in extremely diverse fields such as optics, micro-electronics, transportation, health, energy, energy storage, diagnosis, housing, environment and the highly relevant area is Internet of Things (IoT). Material properties of hybrid materials can be tuned by modification of the composition on the molecular scale to produce smart materials. Cross-cutting approaches, to synergistically couple molecular engineering and processing allows to tailor complex hybrid systems of various shapes with perfect control over size, composition, functionality, and morphology. The detailed description and discussion of variety of hybrid functional organicinorganic materials and their contribution in the designing of specific modern technologies is the prime focus of this review. There is an enormous demand for hybrid materials to provide technological breakthroughs with the most sought after being the enabling of the IoT. Interest in the field of IoT will witness exponential growth over the next decade as markets realize the true potential of realtime data acquisition for various entertainment, knowledge dissemination, defense, environmental, and healthcare applications. Many of the well-established materials, such as metals, 1 ceramics, 2-4 or plastics 5,6 cannot fulfill all technological desires for the various new applications. In addition to the early interest in structural hybrid materials based on carbon-silicon networks, many recent efforts have centered on the design of functional hybrid materials which harness the chemical activity of their components. This approach has been successfully used in recent years in the design of hybrid polymers 7 with special emphasis on structural hybrid materials based on mixed silicon-carbon networks prepared by sol-gel methods [8][9][10][11][12] which can also entrap additional active species. 13 In this field the stakes are high and scientists aim at producing structural materials with properties between those of inorganic glasses and organic polymers.8 But the expectations go beyond mechanical strength and thermal and chemical stability. These new materials are also sought for improved optical, 14-17 and electrical 18,19 properties, luminescence, 12,20-25 ionic conductivity, [26][27][28] and selectivity, 29-32 as well as chemical [33][34][35] or biochemical 36-38 activity. Chemical activity is of core importance in functional materials. Sensors, selective membranes, all sorts of electrochemical devices, from actuators to batteries or supercapacitors, supported catalysts or photoelectrochemical energy conversion cells are some important devices based on hybrid functional materials.Hybridization is a multifaceted strategy. In some cases, conducting organic polymers act just as a solid polymeric support for active species, whereas in other hybrid systems the activity of organic and inorganic species combines to reinforce or modify each other. But in every case ...

“…The "graft-from" technique is described as the GNPs experiencing chain initiation which is then anchored to active surface sites, proving desirable as both the molecular weight and distribution can be controlled through such methodology [ 123 ]. The "graft-to" technique can then be described as the stabilization of GNPs via the addition of gatekeepers; examples of this during the production of GNPs are the incorporation of thiol group used as end caps and the stabilization of disulfi de-containing polymers instead of the more typical addition of alkanethiol ligands approach [ 124 ].…”

The evolution in the synthesis of smart polymers broadens new horizons for their potent application in medicine, especially in drug delivery. Many synthetic polymers that exhibit environmentally responsive behavior are potential smart carrier candidates that allow for controlled therapeutic delivery. These materials can be loaded with specifi c drugs for therapeutic applications, releasing treatment in response to a stimulus. This stimuli-responsive capability has enabled smart polymeric materials to distribute drugs in response to commonly known exogenous and/ or endogenous stimuli. Examples of these various stimuli include pH, enzyme concentration, temperature, ultrasound intensity, as well as light, magnetic fi eld, redox gradients and a multitude of other potential stimuli. This chapter provides a detailed critical discussion and an overview of the stimuli-responsive polymers which have found applications in targeted drug delivery. Furthermore, multiresponsive systems and their forthcoming development as well as challenges associated with some stimuli-responsive systems are discussed. Finally, the most recent and emerging trends along with a look toward expected future breakthroughs using these types of nanocarriers are discussed.
