3D Local Near-Field Mode Initiated Polymerisation
We are exploring the potential of near field modes to localize polymer functionalization in three dimensions at the nanoscale. Due to the wavelength region of these near field modes such as surface plasmons this needs visible light (> 470 nm) induced polymerizations.
We investigate visible light induced polymerisations, such as dye-sensitized polymerization, iniferter induced polymerization, SI-PET-RAFT in this context.
