In designing polymeric materials for use in nanotechnology it rapidly becomes apparent that control over all aspects of polymer structure (molecular weight, polydispersity, number and position of functional groups, architecture, etc.) is required. Equally important to the rapid introduction and incorporation of these materials into devices is the development of robust and simple techniques for their synthesis. Living free radical procedures have been developed and employed in the preparation of various functionalized polymers. These systems address a wide range of manufacturing issues for the successful adoption of such functional polymers as a viable nanofabrication technique. In the presentation, living radical polymerization was employed to design the photo-crosslinkable block copolymers, and their uses for various nanofabrications such as buildup of 3-dimensional multilayered nanostructures and functional nanocomposites will be discussed. |
