Direct observation of nanoparticle embedding into the surface of a polymer melt
Direct embedding of metal nanoparticles (NPs) into the surface of a polymer melt is observed by TEM and a new embedding mechanism proposed. Upon annealing above the glass transition temperature of polystyrene (PS), NPs (20 nm gold) are rapidly covered by a thin PS wetting layer, h* approximately 1.3...
