Controlling the morphology of supramolecular nanostructures using electrostatic self-assembly
Self-assembly is a powerful technique for the synthesis of supramolecular nanostructures, especially for nanosystems that respond to external triggers such as pH, loading ratio, temperature or light irradiation. As a part of our ILL Ph.D. project, this experiment aims to fundamentally understand the interaction between polyelectrolytes and oppositely charged counterions and track the change in size and shape of the supramolecular self-assembly under irradiation. This model system will consist of linear polyelectrolytes such as poly(diallyldimethyl-ammoniumchloride) (PDADMAC), poly (N-methyl-4-vinylpyridinium nitrate) (QPVP), poly-amidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer of different generations with different azo dyes (Acid yellow 38, direct yellow 12).
