Organic/inorganic hybrids are molecules connecting polymer tethers to the inorganic nanoparticles via chemical bond. Those hybrids can self-assemble into various ordered structures, such as lamellae, cylinders, etc.[1] Due to the respective advantages of organics and inorganics, those special molecules usually exhibit enhanced mechanical and thermodynamical properties, and may find potential applications in nanoreactors, energy storage, and medical care. However, there remain a large amount of critical issues unsolved in this area. For example, the correlations between structures and properties of those assemblies, and the dynamics of the formation of microphases. We explored the self-assembly behaviors and mechanical properties of those organic/inorganic hybrids. A model of block copolymer tethered nanoparticles was used to study the phase behaviors. It was discovered that, typical equilibrium microphases are formed for the organic/inorganic hybrids with neutral nanoparticles, and hierarchical structures can be obtained for the ones having polymer unfavorable nanoparticles.[2] In addition, the stress-strain behavior of organic/inorganic hybrids as a function of interaction strength and architecture parameters was examined. It was learned that with increasing particle size, the interaction strength between nanoparticles and polymers, or decreasing polymer length, the stress and tensional moduli can be improved.[3] Those organic/inorganic hybrids exhibit enhanced mechanical properties relative to neat polymers and nanoparticle/polymer blends. The gained results may provide useful guidance for understanding the structures of organic/inorganic hybrids and designing high-performance hybrid materials. Refrence: [1] K. Wu, M. Huang, C. Liu, Z.
