Bespoke Block Copolymer Nanoparticles Boost the Thermal Conductivity of Oils

Next-generation thermal management fluids are urgently required for the efficient cooling of data centers and fast-charging batteries. To address this problem, we have prepared diblock copolymer nanoparticles with polar cores in non-polar media using polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). This is achieved via r...

Silicone Methacrylate Brushes Prepared by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Exhibit Solvent-Regulated Adhesion and Friction

Despite their widespread application as low-friction surface coatings, existing pathways for the preparation of surface-tethered silicone coatings lack precise control over the nanostructure of the polymer layer and therefore its interfacial properties. To address this limitation, we report the controlled grafting-fr...

Diblock Copolymer Nanoparticles Act as Nanoreactors for the Synthesis of Sterically-Stabilized Inorganic Oxide Particles in Non-polar Media.

Well-defined diblock copolymer nanoparticles are prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in a poly(α-olefin) oil at 90°C using a poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA) precursor. The PHEMA cores of these nanoparticles are subsequentl...
