- Abstract
A novel approach to organic-inorganic asymmetric particles through the co-assembly of block copolymers (BCs) and magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) in solution is demonstrated. When 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) modified Fe3O4 NPs and an amphiphilic block copolymer polystyrene-b-poly (2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) were mixed in THF, asymmetric composite particles formed due to the hydrogen bonding interactions between –SH groups of the MUA molecules coated on Fe3O4 NPs and P2VP blocks. The asymmetric particles obtained by this facile approach may have potential applications in biomedical areas.
