Assembly Formation of Nanoparticles at a Soft Surface: Polymer Brush
Bhuwan Poudel (MPI-Polymer Research)


The distribution of nanoparticles (NPs) within the polymer brush is a crucial element that determines their applicability, such as in nanosensors. The brush properties, such as grafting density, thickness, etc., can be used to control the structure formation of NPs. Here, we are interested in studying the assembly formation of NPs, in particular, by tuning the brush properties.
