Formation of [60]Fullerene Nanoclusters with Controlled Size and Morphology through the Aid of Supramolecular Rod–Coil Diblock Copolymers

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: On the starting block: Polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) and a [60]fullerene carboxylic acid combine to form spherical supramolecular aggregates (see picture), the size and morphology of which can be controlled by changing the block composition ratio in the copolymer. The method is generally applicable to the construction of organic nanoparticles.
