PS-b-P4VP-based Catalysts In the mid-1990s we developed nanoparticulate catalysts based on block copolymer micelles derived from the polystyrene-felocfe-poly-4-vinylpyridine (PS-b-P4VP) [11, 46]. In selective solvents (toluene and THE) these block copolymers form micelles with the P4VP cores, the latter serve as nanoreactors for metal nanopartide formation. The Pd nanopartides of 2.6 nm... 

In this chapter, we focus on the impressive role of polymers in the in vitro and in vivo delivery of nuddc adds. We outline the basic features needed in a biomaterial to be utilized for this application. Several dasses of polymers and dendrimers have been devdoped and extensivdy studied for this application. Herein, we outline some examples of maaomolecular materials utilized for this purpose. How these materials interart with nuddc adds and the important characterization assays used to smdy polymer-nuddc add binding, nanopartide formation, and cellular ddivery are also discussed. Next, we outline some... 

Another variant of MAND is microreactor-assisted nanopartide deposition (MANpD) involving the use of microreactor technology to implement real-time nucleation, growth, purification, and functionalization of NPs for the deposition and assembly of NP films and stmctures. Various nanostructured thin films have been deposited using this approach [112,120,124]. This technique follows a thin film growth mechanism based on nanopartide formation and deposition. 

Reaction System This example describes the synthesis of CdS nanopartides based on the precipitation reaction at room temperature according to the procedure reported by Su and Chang [128]. The synthesis of CdS nanopartides via a continuous-flow microreactor based on a simple precipitation reaction in aqueous phase at room temperature [29-32,130,131] or in nonaqueous phase at a higher temperature [132] has been reported in the literature. The ligand (L)-capped CdS nanopartide formation mechanism could be described according to the following basic steps [29] ...

Xylan-based micro- and nanoparticles have been produced by simple coacervation (Garcia et al., 2001). In the study, sodium hydroxide and chloride acid or acetic acid were used as solvent and non-solvent, respectively. Also, xylan and surfactant concentrations and the molar ratio between sodium hydroxide and chloride acid were observed as parameters for the formation of micro- and nanoparticles by the simple coacervation technique (Garcia et al., 2001). Different xylan concentrations allowed the formation of micro- and nanoparticles. More precisely, microparticles were found for higher concentrations of xylan while nanopartides were produced for lower concentrations of the polymer solution. When the molar ratio between sodium hydroxide and chloride acid was greater than 1 1, the partides settled more rapidly at pH=7.0. Regarding the surfactant variations, an optimal concentration was found however, at higher ones a supernatant layer was observed after 30 days (Garda et al., 2001). 

Bimetallic nanoparticles, either as alloys or as core-shell structures, exhibit unique electronic, optical and catalytic properties compared to pure metallic nanopartides [24]. Cu-Ag alloy nanoparticles were obtained through the simultaneous reduction of copper and silver ions again in aqueous starch matrix. The optical properties of these alloy nanopartides vary with their composition, which is seen from the digital photographs in Fig. 8. The formation of alloy was confirmed by single SP maxima which varied depending on the composition of the alloy.

The formation of nanopattemed functional surfaces is a recent topic in nanotechnology. As is widely known, diblock copolymers, which consist of two different types of polymer chains cormected by a chemical bond, have a wide variety of microphase separation structures, such as spheres, cylinders, and lamellae, on the nanoscale, and are expected to be new functional materials with nanostructures. Further modification of the nanostructures is also useful for obtaining new functional materials. In addition, utilization of nanopartides of an organic dye is also a topic of interest in nanotechnology.
