Characterisation of polyoxometalate rich micelles using small angle neutron scattering
We are studying newly developed Polyion complex (PIC) micelles that have unparalleled significance in the construction of functionalised and ordered mesoporous materials. They are fabricated through the electrostatic complexation of a charged double hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC) with an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte. Micellisation can be controlled by physico-chemical parameters such as a pH change, a property of predominant importance in templating agents employed for the preparation of ordered materials. Micellar formation is promoted during the condensation of silica as they act as templating agent and, once the material is fabricated, the dismantling and revealing of porosity follows. The intense study of PIC micelles has opened a new array of opportunities. Recently, our group developed a novel absorbing micelle preparation strategy; a fascinating extension of studies carried out till date.
