However, the available polymer materials in this field are still relatively simple, most of which are based on PEG, PLGA, etc. In addition, different synthetic processes, structural shapes, and ligands coupled to the surface of the same material will lead to nanoparticles with different functions...
The development of π-conjugated polymers has provided a gateway to a variety of new functional organic materials reminiscent of inorganic semiconductors. Nanoparticles based on π-conjugated polymers are promising for a broad range of emerging applicati
In both cases, the upper limit for the dimension of phase separation is determined by the size of the individual nanoparticles, which can be adjusted down to a few tens of nanometres. We also show that the efficiencies of solar cells using two-component particles are comparable to those of ...
Combination of conjugated polymers and nanotechnology endows conjugated polymer based nanoparticles (CPNs) with rich properties such as amphilicity, surface functionalities, enhanced permeability and retention effect [31]. CPNs have been demonstrated as promising contrast agents in imaging and sensing ...

A new understanding of thermodynamics at the nanoscale resulted in a recently discovered first order phase transition that nanoparticles in a polymer film will all segregate to the supporting substrate. This is an unusual phase transition that was predicted using a modeling technique developed at Sandia...
With unprecedented properties and functions, polymer-based hybrid materials hold extremely important position in many fields. Here in this review, we summa
