title: Design of Nanohybrid Systems from a Partially Fluorinated Organogelator and Syndiotactic Polystyrene Thermoreversible Gel.
abstract: Nanohybrid systems are prepared from organogels of a partially fluorinated molecule and from thermoreversible gels of syndiotactic polystyrene. The thermodynamic behavior, morphology, and structure are investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry, atomic force microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The outcomes of these investigations suggest that the fibrils of the organogel coil around the sPS fibrils, probably through a heterogeneous nucleation process. These systems therefore differ from previously investigated sPS/OPV systems (oligo vinylene phenylene) where OPV fibrils pervade the sPS network.
