Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 510943930
This project aims at characterising and establishing plasmon-induced nitroxide-mediated polymerisation (NMP) that exploits metal nanoparticles as a versatile initiation unit for the fabrication of plasmonic nanoparticle-polymer structures. The excitation of the localized surface plasmon resonance will use conditions that enable efficient two-photon processes for the sensitive vibrational spectroscopic characterisation of the reaction, fast screening of the plasmonic conditions, as well as the extreme localization of high optical fields.
