Abstract Details

2018, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Macromolecular Science and Engineering.
A series of core-shell inorganic-organic hybrid nanomaterials have been proposed with gold nanoparticle as core, carbazole terminated star-like copolymer (h-PEI-b-PCL-Cbz) as shell which consist of hyper-branched polyethyleneimine (h-PEI) and three different chain lengths of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). Electrostatic interaction between the PEI core and gold nanoparticles provides the possibility to form a core-shell nanomaterial by phase transfer method. By adjusting the degree of polymerization of PCL as well as the chain length of PCL, this core-shell nanomaterial has a controllability of energy transferring property and tunability of surface hydrophobicity as well as ionic probe diffusion property. These properties will help with further applications of formed core-shell hybrid system.
