POLY 309 |
| The use of both soluble and insoluble templates allows the convenient synthesis of novel nano/microstructures with partly exciting property combinations.This presenatation will mainly focus on two aspects of this approach - Amphiphilic (block) copolymers or even standard polyelectrolytes allows to control precipitation and crystallization events in a variety of ways. The resulting polymer hybrids have special structure and mechanical and functional properties which a difficult to access otherwise - hydrothermal carbonization is a new tool to make complex polymer/carbon nanoparticles from most abundant starting "monomers", e.g. glucose. Application of the toolbox of templates together with polymer heterophase reactions accesses structures as nanofoams, hybrid nanofibres, and mesostructured microspheres in simple solution processes. |
