- Abstract
- A diblock copolymer poly(2-vinyl pyridine)-b-poly(n-hexyl isocyanate) (P2VP-b-PHIC) is used for the present study. It has two blocks; a rod-shaped PHIC block that adopts a helical conformation, and a coil shaped P2VP block. In a polar solvent such as THF both PHIC and P2VP blocks are soluble. In mixtures of two solvents, such as THF and methanol, while the solubility of P2VP component is augmented that of PHIC is decreased leading to formation of reversed micelles. The pyridine nitrogen in P2VP block is a reactive site. It forms complexes with a suitable metal ion, such as Cd2+. The micelle is employed as a nanoreactor for synthesis of CdS quantum dot (QD). In this paper, the micellization behaviour of the copolymer and the use of the micelles for synthesis and controlled growth of CdS nanocrystals are demonstrated.
