This paper provides a second update to the review of reversible deactivation radical polymerization achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC(=S)SR) by a mechanism of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) that was published in June 2005 (Aust. J. Chem. 2005, 58, 379-410). The first update was published in November 2006 (Aust. J. Chem. 2006, 59, 669-692). This review cites over 500 papers that appeared during the period mid-2006 to mid-2009 covering various aspects of RAFT polymerization ranging from reagent synthesis and properties, kinetics and mechanism of polymerization, novel polymer syntheses and a diverse range of applications. Significant developments have occurred, particularly in the areas of novel RAFT agents, techniques for end-group removal and transformation, the production of micro/nanoparticles and modified surfaces, and biopolymer conjugates both for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

“…Self-assembly is the most promising candidate for "next technological revolution", at least in principle, the evolution of monodisperse nanoscale building block to ordered arrays [5] . In particular, beautiful liquid-crystalline superstructure or superlattices have been reported such as TiO 2 [13] and β-FeOOH [14] . Here, we explore the superstructure of ordered GNRs assembled by slow evaporation of condensed GNRs aqueous solution at room temperature.…”

Abstract. In this article, we make our effort to scale up the synthesis of gold nanorods (GNRs) using the modified strategy. The prepared GNRs are self-assembled vertically to the substrate over an large micrometer-size area without external fields. We also demonstrate that this complex superstructure is an excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with uniform electric field enhancement, high intensity of hot spots and reproducible enhancement factors (EFs) in the desirable spectral range. For practical perspective, the substrate shows great promise for fluorescence and luminescence.

“…[35] Typical examples include gold, [36,37] silver, [38] metal oxide particles, [39,40] quantum dot, [41] and nano-clusters. [42,43] Among them, polyoxometalates (PMs), acting as a large group of nano-sized metal oxide clusters, [44][45][46] are excellent candidates for the creation of nano-hybrid liquid crystals.…”

Hybrid Liquid Crystals from the Self‐Assembly of Surfactant‐Encapsulated Polyoxometalate Complexes

The construction of nano-hybrid liquid crystals (LCs) has been intensively pursued because the unique traits of nano-objects together with the self-assembly features of LCs allow the development of novel anisotropic materials. Self-assembly of surfactant-encapsulated polyoxometalate (SEP) complexes, consisting of nano-sized cores and organic shells, provides particularly important contribution in this area. The main motivation for developing those nano-hybrid liquid crystals originates from the added-value combination between anionic polyoxometalates and cationic surfactants. This account describes recent work in our group to develop thermotropic SEP complexes that result from the sophisticated molecular design. Since the polyoxometalates possess well-defined topology, strictly mono-dispersed size, and precise surface charges, it is possible to get more insight into understanding of the influence of nature of components on the thermal property of nano-hybrid LCs. We briefly describe the general importance and advantage of nano-hybrid LCs. We then highlight the synthesis and characterization of thermotropic liquid crystals based on polyoxometalate nano-clusters. The driving forces behind the molecular self-assembly are discussed in depth. The various factors, including chain length, surfactant density and the size-matching effect, affecting the interfacial curvature and the LC properties are summarized. We expect that the structure-property relationships are virtually helpful for the design of new nano-hybrid LC materials.
