Supramolecular Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Nanoparticles
Aim of this project is to investigate the structure of novel organic-inorganic hybrid nano-assemblies in aqueous solution by SANS. Organic-inorganic hybrid nanostructures are of importance as they combine advantageous properties of both components. In nanotechnology, it is of importance to organize metal or semiconductor nanoparticles. To do so, self-assembly represents a versatile route. We have established a new concept of electrostatic self-assembly for the formation of organic supramolecular nanoscale assemblies of various shapes in aqueous solution. It is now highly promising to exploit this concept to supramolecular nanostructures for the formation of organic-inorganic hybrid assemblies. Specifically, this will be ternary dendrimergolddye nanocomposites. Complementary to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) which has elucidated the metal nanostructure, SANS will reveal the assembly shape in solution, providing a complete picture necessary to establish the concept as versatile route to novel hybrid nanostructures.
