The
limitation of polymer particles at nanometer scale is its high molecular
weight (MW), i.e., 1 x 105 to 1
106 (weight average molecular weight) and van der Waals forces of
interaction. Only few polymers i.e., polystyrene, polyethylene glycol, etc.
are available at nano scale, but their molecular weights are less than
20,000. The ability to manipulate single or few chains polymer particles
will lead researches to consider it as a promising candidate for
nanostructure building blocks, etc.
In these
perspectives, the goal of present research work is to synthesis high MW
polymer at nano and micro scales without disturbing its performance.
