Invertible Polymers for the Stabilization of Nanoparticles

Kohut A., Voronov A., Peukert W., Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, DE

A new range of amphiphilic polyesters with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic functionalities alternately distributed in the polymer backbone has been synthesized. These polyesters are soluble in aqueous and organic media, where they reveal inverse behavior [...]

Smart Silver Nanoparticles from Nanoreactors made by Invertible Polyesters

Voronov A., Kohut A., Peukert W., Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, DE

A simple way to prepare uniform amphiphilic silver nanoparticles in concentrated solutions of an invertible polyester is developed. The mobility of polymer fragments increases by dissolving of the polyester in benzene. Experimental data show that [...]
