Nanostructured macromolecules aggregation

When the composite-matrix is formed with a polystyrene solution as a dispersion medium, the self-assembly of silica particles is influenced by the adsorption of macromolecules on their surface. During adsorption, both solitary macromolecules and their aggregates transfer simultaneously onto the adsorbent surface. Depending on solution concentration, not only the conformation of adsorbed molecules but also the number and size of macromolecular aggregates in the solution change on adsorption. This leads to the formation of complex-shaped structures, which are linked by a system of nonvalent interactions and consist of polymeric-inorganic blocks[8,14] this is of interest in the preparation of a nanostructured medium (polystyrene-silica gel) as a precomposite for the fabrication of carbon structures in a matrix of silica particles. 

Cellulose is a nanostructured natural polymer that has a complicated multilevel structural organization. The linear cellulose macromolecules joined by hydrogen bonds form the nanocrystallites, nanoscale non-crystalline domains and elementary nanofibrils. The elementary nanofibrils are aggregated into bundles called...
