"Hydrothermal wrapping" with poly(4-vinylpyridine) introduces functionality: pH-sensitive core-shell carbon nanomaterials

Abstract:

Negatively charged carbon nanoparticles (surface-phenylsulfonated) are "wrapped" in a poly(4-vinylpyridine) cationomer and hydrothermally converted into a pH-responsive core-shell nano-composite. With a "thin shell" this nano-material (ca. 20-40 nm diameter) is water-insoluble but readily dispersed into ethanol and deposited onto electrodes. Zeta-potential measurements suggest a point of zero charge (PZC) at ca. pH 4.5 with negative functional groups dominating in the more alkaline range and ...
