METHOD OF FORMING METAL-BLOCK COPOLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

A method for forming a metal-block copolymer nanocomposite, and a method for controlling a metal-block copolymer nanocomposite are provided to allow the structure of nanocomposite to be controlled easily and to allow the position of a metal nanoparticle to be moved to the core or shell of a micelle easily. A method for forming a metal-block copolymer nanocomposite comprises the steps of dissolving a block copolymer to form a micelle type mold; forming a block copolymer micelle solution by using a metal salt dispersed in a hydrochloric acid solution as a precursor in the mold; and introducing a reducing agent to the micelle solution, wherein the block copolymer comprises 2-vinyl pyridine, thiophene, pyrrole or thiazole; and the reducing agent is hydrazine or sodium borohydride.
