  • Utilizing a mixed surfactant system for controlled wetting.
  • Employing a blending approach with PFS homopolymers.
  • Inducing morphology transitions using methanol and FeCl3.

Main Results:

  • Formation of ellipsoidal particles with lamellar structures and nanosheets with hexagonal PFS cylinder structures.
  • Crystallization of PFS domains under colloidal confinement influenced morphology.
  • Blending approach enabled control over lamellar structures.
  • Demonstrated morphology transitions in response to solvent and redox stimuli.

Conclusions:

  • PFS-b-P2VP block copolymers can form diverse nanostructured anisotropic nanoparticles.
