PhD Topic – Emmy Noether Project
Highly defined polymer nanoparticles with accessible surface functionalities. Photocleavable ABC triblock terpolymers might allow the synthesis of controlled self-assembly of defined particle lattices with lattice constants in the range of 50 - 500 nm which is still challenging in the scientific community. This project seeks bringing together concepts of block copolymer synthesis, supramolecular self-assembly, and supracolloidal cluster formation to create open nanoparticle lattices with well-defined symmetry.
