Multicomponent Nanocomposites with defined spatial distribution (B09)

• Subject Area: Preparatory and Physical Chemistry of Polymers ; Synthesis and Properties of Functional Materials ; Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: from 2011 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 79971943

This project aims at loading nanoparticles of different forms (sphere, rod, platelet) selectively and with high volume fractions into block copolymer microdomains. The effect of volume fraction, ligand density and interfacial curvature on the formed nanoparticle/block copolymer superlattices will be investigated. With regard to the preparation of mesostructured cobalt(II,III)-oxides the influence of material morphology on the functionality as an electro catalyst for water splitting will be studied.
