In the temperature range of 303–333 K, the self-assembled structures of a mixture of Pluronic F127 triblock copolymer [PEO106PPO70PEO106; PEO is poly(ethylene oxide) and PPO is poly(propylene oxide)] and an organic derivative, 5-methyl salicylic acid (5mS), in aqueous solution have been investigated using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Above a 5mS concentration of 1.93 g l−1, the F127–5mS mixture solution became cloudy with a blue colour arising from the Tyndall effect, indicating that large polymer aggregates had formed in the mixture solution. SANS measurements showed that the self-assembled structure of the F127–5mS mixture transformed from a spherical to a cylindrical micelle with increasing the concentration of 5mS in the temperature range of 303–323 K. When the 5mS concentration was increased to 3.3 g l−1, the self-assembled structure of the F127–5mS mixture at 333 K underwent an additional phase transition from a cylindrical to a spherical micelle of large size at a 5mS concentration of 2.75 g l−1, although its self-assembled structure changed from a spherical to a cylindrical micelle at a 5mS concentration of 1.93 g l−1as well. The phase transitions are explained by the variation of the mass fraction of the hydrophilic part of F127 and the coupled effect of the limited solubility and the strong tendency to bind with amphiphilic molecules of 5mS. Using a simple material balance equation and the structural information obtained from SANS model analyses, the numbers of D2O and of 5mS molecules in the core and corona regions are calculated. This result can provide a simple and easy way to prepare various nanostructures using a Pluronic triblock copolymer in aqueous solution and may be very useful for practical applications of a Pluronic polymer such as various nanobuilding blocks or nanotemplates.

Induced Crystallization

To date, amphiphilic block copolymers (BCPs) containing poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (P(VDF-co-HFP)) copolymers are rare. At moderate content of HFP, this fluorocopolymer remains semicrystalline and is able to crystallize. Amphiphilic BCPs, containing a P(VDF-co-HFP) segment could, thus be appealing for the preparation of self-assembled block copolymer morphologies through crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) in selective solvents. Here the synthesis, characterization by 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopies, GPC, TGA, DSC, and XRD; and the self-assembly behavior of a P(VDF-co-HFP)-b-PEG-b-P(VDF-co-HFP) triblock copolymer were studied. The well-defined ABA amphiphilic fluorinated triblock copolymer was self-assembled into nano-objects by varying a series of key parameters such as the solvent and the non -solvent, the self-assembly protocols, and the temperature. A large range of morphologies such as spherical, square, rectangular, fiber-like, and platelet structures with sizes ranging from a few nanometers to micrometers was obtained depending on the self-assembly protocols and solvents systems used. The temperature-induced crystallization-driven self-assembly (TI-CDSA) protocol allowed some control over the shape and size of some of the morphologies.

A short-chain triblock copolymer EO9-DMS7-EO9 was synthesized by couplingreaction of allyl-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) and Si–H-terminatedpoly(dimethylsiloxane). The structure and purity of synthesized copolymer wascarefully characterized. Self-assembly behavior of EO9-DMS7-EO9 triblockcopolymer in water was investigated. And it was found that along with theincrease of copolymer concentration, morphology of self-assembled aggregatestransits from sphere to rod. A plausible understanding of the morphologytransition for the investigated triblock copolymer was proposed

In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous silver nitrate through a simple and eco-friendly route using a combination of two reducing agents: sodium citrate and tannic acid. By this method, the obtained Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were stable within the studied period of six months. Besides, both TEM images and UV-Vis results showed that the size of silver NPs could be controlled by changing the concentration of tannic acid. The antibacterial ability of Ag NPs with different sizes were also examined. In detail, the smaller the Ag NPs were, the more efficient their antibacterial activity was.

We analysed sensitivity of high-density arrays of self-assembled gold nanoparticle clusters towards trace analyte detection and quantitative determination by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) employing an aromatic thiol as probe molecule. Periodic nanoscale arrays of gold nanoparticle clusters consisting of an average of 18 nanoparticles per cluster, and exhibiting mean inter-particle and inter-cluster separations below 10 nm were prepared using electrostatic self-assembly on block copolymer templates. The concentration dependent scaling of SERS intensities and the lowest detection limits on the cluster arrays on silicon substrate was probed using 1-naphthalenethiol (NT) as test molecule. The substrates show a detection limit of 10 nM along with high sensitivity to changes in NT concentration, which we attribute to high density of hot-spots uniformly organised across the surface. The capability for facile realisation of such arrays without a clean room environment or expensive tools makes the approach suitable for adoption for economic and high-performing SERS sensors.
