Uses
Poly(butyl methacrylate-
co-methyl methacrylate) (P(BMA-
co-MMA) ) may be used to synthesize porous interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) with low-density polymers. These IPN structures are applicable as membranes for separation of liquid mixtures due to their high mechanical strength and selectivity. P(BMA-
co-MMA) particles may be used to encapsulate single non-aggregated semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) for size enlargement.These hybrid organic/inorganic nanostructures may be used as single photon sources.
