Soft matter nanoparticles with various shapes and functionalities can form through electrostatic self-assembly

摘要: Electrostatic self-assembly is an important area presenting fascinating opportunities for the design of functional and responsive nanostructures. In this contribution we highlight a recent approach that allows formation nanoscale assemblies with variety shapes – spheres, rods, hollow networks rings from macroions multivalent organic counterions as building blocks. Combination electrostatics secondary forces key to directed structure formation, while charged nature assembled nanoparticles gives rise their stability in solution. The concept nanoassemblies which respond external stimuli. Macroionic blocks can range linear polyelectrolytes over ionic dendrimers cylindrical polyelectrolyte brushes, be dye molecules, porphyrins or other stiff semiflexible ions. versatility potential strategy are discussed.
