In this proposal a plan is outlined which aims to develop the synthesis and solution selfassembly of metal-containing block copolymers. The program will develop novel cylindrical nanostructures and explore their applications as nanosize wire-like architectures. The materials will combine the novel functional properties imparted by the presence of metal atoms in the poly(ferrocenylsilane) (PFS) block to the core of the nanostructure. The interdisciplinary project will involve synthetic polymer chemistry, detailed characterization and studies of physical properties. Applications of the materials in nanoscience, for example in devices and as etch resists, will then be explored.
