Experimental findings of size-dependent localization and dispersion of nanoparticles. Small PS-coated gold nanoparticles dispersed in a PS–PEP thin film, (a) localized near the interfacial regions, while large silica nanoparticles (b) concentrate in the middle region of PS domain. Reproduced with permission from ref. [55] Copyright 2003, The American Chemical Society. As the temperature rises, spatial distribution of nanoparticles dispersed in PS-P2VP (3-PDP) varies from (c) in the middle region (50 ℃), (d) at the interface (110 ℃) to (e) uniformly distributed (160 ℃).
