Polythiophene-Coated Polystyrene Core-Shell Nanoparticles with a Rod-Shaped Polythiophene Shell

Article Preview

Abstract:

A core-shell nanocomposite particle with polystyrene sphere core and polythiophene overlayer shell was synthesized through thiophene chemical oxidative polymerization using uniquely structured polystyrene latexes template. The morphology of polythiophene shell, which has nanorods shaped or featureless surface morphology, can be simply controlled through varying the dosage and feeding methods of oxidizers.
