Hybrid polymer nanoassembly

We demonstrate flexible design of hybrid polymer nanoassemblies based on nanoparticle arrays and polymer nanosheets. Using excellent film formation ability of acrylamide-based amphiphic polymers at the air-water interface, well defined hybrid polymer nanoassemblies were constructed at the monoparticle layer level. Hybrid polymer nanoassemblies enable to elucidate the structure-property relationship in terms of light-matter interaction at confined spaces as well as open up a new scientific field for nanophotonics and nanoelectronics applications. Several examples such as luminescence oxygen sensor application and emission control of hybrid polymer nanoassemblies assembled on a silver grating surface are described.
