- Title
Polymer–nanoparticle films: Entropy and enthalpy at play.
- Authors
Stamm, Manfred; Sommer, Jens-Uwe
- Abstract
The article studies the control of entropic and enthalpic factors during the assembly of nanoparticles in multilayered polymer thin films, which leads to finely structured composites. The use of nanoparticles, which provides a wide variability in properties and functions ranging from optical, electrical and mechanical, is examined. The article highlights a research by Michael Mackay and others to describe a new route to obtain nanocomposites.
