Resumo
This Thesis Dissertation is focused on the development of novel hybrid materials based on poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) and metal nanoparticles. PPAs are a family of dynamic helical polymers where the secondary structure —helical sense and/or elongation— can be modulated by external stimuli. Thus, they are excellent candidates to act as protecting agents of metal nanoparticles and give a chiral environment to form stimuli-responsive hybrid materials. Besides, this dynamic behavior is affected by the strength interaction between PPAs and metal nanoparticles.
