【Lecture Title】Polymeric Hybrid Nanomaterials
Time:  10:00-12:00 am, Sep. 4th, 2017 
Location:  新材料大楼材料学院第一会议室
Abstract：Modern methods of polymer synthesis allow the construction of macromolecules with well-defined architectures and molecular masses. Controlled radical polymerization techniques have enabled the creation of multitudes of hybrid nanomaterials, which combine inorganic and organic components into novel functional entities.
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and reversible addition-fragmentation polymerization (RAFT) offer a relatively easy way of combining inorganic nanoparticles and polymers. Two synthetic approaches include “grafting from” and “grafting to” techniques.
Specific properties of nano-sized materials will be discussed using gold as an example. In addition to this several materials based on metal, clay, and silica nanoparticles will be introduced and finally, novel thermoresponsive nanogels decorated with gold nanoparticles will be introduced.
