Homogeneous, surfactant-free gold nanoparticles encapsulated by polythiophene analogues.
The synthesis of nanocrystal-polymer nanocomposites is reported, in which 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethoxy modified polythiophene serves as the protecting group for dispersion and homogeneous size distribution of the nanoparticles, showing potential of this polymer-based material in optoelectronics and microelectronics.
