Abstract

We demonstrate the functioning of a macromolecular nanoreactor which guides a reaction in a confined volume and leads toward improved functional properties of a product material. In our approach, the polymerization of aniline (ANi) is conducted within the interfacial volume of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB) which are densely affixed to colloidal particles. The SPB provide optimal conditions for matrix polymerization by the efficient confinement of ANi monomers within the finite volume of polyelectrolyte brushes and controlled delivery of the oxidizing reagent to the reaction volume. The excellent kinetic stability of the resulting core-shell particles together with the high macroscopic conductivity of the respective composite open up perspectives for novel materials (a conductive ink).
