As the question states I would like to get more information on polymer NP-polymer surface interface. Most of what I have found is nanocomposite driven which doesn't entirely address my questions. I want info specifically at the surface of the bulk polymer.
Dear Wyeth Gibson, I think this situation is within the scope of core-shell formed by adsorption (not grafting). If this seems interesting, a wide studies are devoted to this structural colloïdal arrengements. My Regards
that is, would you like to get information about the "coat" of a polymer that occurs around nanoparticles? that is, this polymer is somehow adsorbed onto the nanoparticles. and what exactly would you like to know? with the help of qualitative reactions it is possible to find out whether the activity of the polymer is retained. you can calculate the amount of polymer. do you want to know the thickness of the polymer layer around nanoparticles? in what environments? what is the purpose? in different media, polymers form globules of different shapes and sizes around nanoparticles and by themselves. they may simply not be adsorbed at different acidity and temperature. your question is too general. in any case, answer yourself the question-why? and then search for information among computer modeling techniques about the conformation of the polymer on the surface for your application. to start.
