Amphiphilic Nanocrystals: from Nanomaterials to Nanomedicine

Hongwei Duan

School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Nanyang Technological University

 

This talk will cover our recent development in surface engineering of functional nanocrystals with mixed polymer brushes and the major applications. We have found that the structural integration of nanocrystals with two types of chemically distinct polymer grafts, which are analogous to block copolymers as a whole, creates a new type of hybrid building blocks inheriting the amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly of block copolymers and the unique optical properties of the nanocrystals. The tandem “grafting to” and “grafting from” synthetic approach we developed allows for the fine control over the structural parameters of the amphiphilic nanocrystals. Our results have shown that amphiphilic nanocrystals hold great promise in a wide spectrum of applications such as bioimaging, drug delivery, and sensing.
