Abstract:
Ribbon-like micelles containing an oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)-based core and a COOH-based corona are prepared by crystallization-driven self-assembly. Organic moieties and polymeric and metal nanoparticles can be immobilized on the shell of micelles by using the COOH unit as the handle via electrostatic, hydrogen-bonding and coordinating interactions.
