Polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNs) are a novel class of hybrid nanomaterials, consisting of a polymer brush grafted to an inorganic core. In recent years, PGNs with magnetic cores have garnered increased interest for medical, sensing, and actuating uses due to the additional functionalities afforded by external magnetic fields. Though it has received little attention, a new wave of applications is possible when light- and temperature-responsive polymers make up the corona of magnetic PGNs.<br/>In this work we demonstrate the large-scale, aqueous synthesis of light- and temperature responsive magnetic PGNs, with an emphasis on using techniques that allow us to tailor PGN properties in bulk. More specifically, we will address the environmental impact and scaling bottlenecks that limit the broad industrial adoption of PGNs today. Finally, this project will address the self-assembly and emergent magnetic field-, temperature-, and light-responsive properties of PGN 2D arrays.
