Self-Assembly of Single-Polymer-Tethered Nanoparticle Amphiphiles upon Varying Tail Length
We systematically investigated the roles of tail length on the self-assembly of shape amphiphiles composed of a hydrophobic polymer chain (tail) and a hydrophilic nanoparticle in selective solvent using Brownian dynamics simulations. The shape amphiphiles exhibited a variety of self-assembled aggreg...
