Polymer‐Mediated Nanoparticle Assembly: Structural Control and Applications

Abstract: Nanoparticle–polymer composites are diverse and versatile functional materials, with applications ranging from electronic device fabrication to catalysis. This review focuses on the use of chemical design to control the structural attributes of polymer‐mediated assembly of nanoparticles. We will illustrate the use of designed particles and polymers to create nanocomposites featuring interesting and pragmatic structures and properties. We will also describe applications of these engineered materials.

“…In the self-assembly of nanoparticles, surface properties determining the interactions between particles play a fundamental role (Niemeyer 2001;Shenhar et al 2005;Srinivasan et al 2006;Ofir et al 2008;Talapin 2008;Lim & Zhong 2009). Finally, owing to the extremely high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles, they may be ideally suited for catalytic purposes, as recently summarized in a review (Narayanan & El-Sayed 2008).…”

“…Many advanced optoelectronic and sensor devices are based on the fabrication of these materials. [270][271][272][273] Because of their high surface free energy, nanoparticles tend to agglomerate. Again, a key challenge for a potential technological use is the achievement of homogeneous dispersion of the thermodynamically unstable nanoparticles.…”

“…Композитные среды на основе наночастиц металла, диспергированных в диэлектрической матрице, могут использоваться в нанофотонике, оптоэлектронике, меди-цине, в катализе, для хранения информации, а также в поверхностно-усиленном рамановском рассеянии [1][2][3][4][5][6]. При практическом применении от нанокомпозитов тре-буется повышенная химическая стойкость и оптиче-ская однородность.…”
