Synthesis and characterization of nanoreactors within polymeric nanotemplates

Groves M., Jugroot M., Malardier-Jugroot C., McTaggart M., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

The paper will present a novel method for the synthesis of metal nanoclusters with diameters < 3nm within an amphiphilic nanotube template without the use of a reducing agent. This environmentally friendly synthesis occurs at [...]

Environmental Friendly Synthesis of Polypyrrole within polymeric Nanotemplates-mechanism of polypyrrole synthesis

Chan A., Groves M., Li X., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

This paper describes an innovative way to synthesize polypyrrole using self-assembly nano-templates poly (isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (IMA) or poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (SMA). Understanding the details of the novel synthesis in great details would provide us profound [...]

Conformation of pH Responsive Alternating Copolymers and Self-Assembly in Nanoarchitectures

Chan A.S.W., Groves M., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

Our research focuses on the characterization of the association and the properties in aqueous solution of nanostructures composed of amphiphilic alternating copolymers. These copolymers are composed of a pH sensitive hydrophilic group, maleic anhydride alternating [...]

Conformational analysis of alternating copolymers and their association into nanoarchitectures

Chan A.S.W., Groves M., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

Our research focuses on the characterization of the association and the properties in aqueous solution of nano-structures, particularly on nanotubes composed of amphiphilic alternating copolymers. These copolymers constitute a pH sensitive hydrophilic group (maleic anhydride) [...]

Synthesis and characterization of polypyrrole nanowires using alternating amphiphilic copolymer nanotubes as templates

Chan A.S.W., Groves M., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

It has been reported that poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (SMA) chains would self-assembled into a nanotube in aqueous solution at pH7 by associating through a linear conformation which favours the association of the chains by decreasing the [...]
