Synthesis of Bismuth Oxide Nanoclusters from Norbornene Diblock Copolymer Template

Abstract:

The synthesis and characterization of well-dispersed Bi2O3 nanoclusters from diblock copolymer are reported. A diblock copolymer template of norbornene derivatives was synthesized using ring-opening metathesis polymerization. By introducing BiCl3 into the diblock copolymer template, the bismuth oxide nanoclusters within the copolymer micelles were achieved by NaOH soaking and water wash. Finally, FTIR and TEM were used to characterize the nanocomposite morphology and the process of oxide formation
