| Zusammenfassung: | Gold nanoparticle (AuNP) network structures featuring particles from the two-phase Brust-Schiffrin synthesis and linear RAFT oligomers of styrene with two and multiple trithiocarbonate (TTC) groups along their backbone have been investigated in detail. Insights into the internal structures of these particle networks could be obtained from small-angle X-ray scattering experiments, showing that primary AuNPs are cross-linked by the employed molecular linker. The extent of AuNP network formation was investigated by means of dynamic light scattering and UV/visible extinction spectroscopy, showing an abrupt attenuation of network formation after a critical degree of polymerization of the cross-linker is exceeded. Analysis of transmission electron micrographs indicated a three-dimensional shape of the particle superstructures, which is evenly filled with the primary AuNPs. From the results obtained in this study, guidelines for the fabrication of nanoparticle networks from the self-assembly with macromolecular cross-linkers are suggested |
