Nanoparticle Surfactants as a Route to Bicontinuous Block Copolymer Morphologies by Bumjoon J. Kim (1477771)

“…The surface chemistry of nanoparticles can be modified so that these particles behave like surfactants and localize at interfaces between two fluids. We demonstrate that small volume fractions φ_P of such surfactant nanoparticles added to lamellar diblock copolymers lead initially to a decrease in lamellar thickness with φ_P, a consequence of decreasing interfacial tension, up to a critical value of φ_P, beyond which the block copolymer adopts a bicontinuous morphology. …”
