... block co-polymer, and the concentration. In their approach Möller and co-workers used symmetrical polystyrene-b-polyethylene oxide (PS-b-PSO). Under the conditions employed, this block co-polymer ... amphiphilic block copolymers as templates for the preparation of small gold nanoparti-cles of a diameter of 2.5, 4, and 6 nm (Spatz et al. 1995; Spatz, et al. 1996). Amphiphilic block copolymers ... was first reported by Mirkin and co-workers. Up to now many groups have applied this assembly scheme for the preparation of various two- and three-dimension-ally linked nano particles. Extensions...
