The synthesis of various hybrid nanoparticle-polymer assemblies pre-supposes the ability to utilize various synthetic approaches based on topologically exact grafting methods. The use of dendrimers and star copolymers enables the synthesis of the various hybrid nanoparticle building blocks. Dendrimers can be based on convergent and divergent approaches of carefully designed AB2 monomers to dendrons that can be linked. Star copolymers can be used to graft polymer brushed on nanoparticle surfaces. Here we demonstrate that the use of various dendrimer synthon approaches together with hybrid nanoparticle systems including electropolymerizable moieties afford an excellent assembly protocol to produce<br/>nanostructured coatings, nanopatterns, sensors, and therapeutic agents. We describe polymer assemblies based on conjugated polythiophenes, polybenzylethers, tethered carbazole units, and polyethyleneimine star copolymers, to control the grafting on surfaces and electropolymerization methods. The key to the analysis of such materials is the use of surface-sensitive analytical methods.
