Synthesis of Nanosheet Colloids Revealing Remarkable Solvent-Driven Dispersion and Aggregation Behavior
ICYS Research Fellow Dr. Shuntaro UENUMA
【Key Points of This Research】
We found the unique solvent-dispersion and aggregation behaviors of nanosheet colloids by attaching polymer chains through non-covalent interactions (host–guest chemistry and topological constraints).
This system can be used to create smart, stimuli-responsive materials that take advantage of the reversible detachment of the polymer chains.
