TL;DR: The effect of monomer solubility on copolymer morphology is explored and new anisotropic nanoparticles have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, aqueous electrophoresis, shear-induced polarized light imaging (SIPLI), and small-angle X-ray scattering.

TL;DR: In this article, three dynamic light scattering experiments on concentrated nonaqueous dispersions of spherical particles are discussed and the measured correlation functions were analyzed to provide particle mean-square displacements from which short and long-time self-diffusion coefficients were obtained.

TL;DR: The adsorption of small silica particles onto large sterically stabilized poly(2-vinylpyridine) [P2VP] latex particles in aqueous solution is assessed as a potential route to nanocomposite particles with a "core-shell" morphology and strong evidence is interpreted for a contiguous monolayer ofsilica particles surrounding the latex cores.

TL;DR: In this article, a commercial synthesis robot (Chemspeed autoplant A100) was used to synthesize methacrylic multiblock copolymer nanoparticles using a poly(methacrylic acid) stabilizer block.

TL;DR: In this article, surface quasi-elastic light scattering (SQELS) has been used to obtain the temporal evolution of capillary waves when graft copolymers of polymethyl methacrylate and poly(ethylene oxide) have been spread as monolayers at the air−water interface.
