title: Approach toward nanoplate poly(styrene sulfate): synthesis of nano-polymers with special morphology by using Ldhs as template.
abstract: A simple chemical method to obtain nanopolymers with special morphology is reported. The key to the success of this preparation was the use of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), a two-dimensional host material, as template. Typical procedures include in-situ polymerization of the monomers in the interlayers of the LDH template, followed by the dissolution of LDH sheets so that the formed polymers can be free and collected. The obtained results demonstrate potential of LDHs as tools for the controlled synthesis of nanopolymers with platelike morphology.
