This study explores how the dispersity of polymeric ligands affects the stability of nanoparticles. To examine their surface mobility on the nanoparticles, we synthesized a variety of discrete linear and branched polymer ligands. Additionally, this talk will discuss how the structural parameters of these ligands, such as their chain length, dispersity, and chemical immiscibility, impact the size, dispersity, and interfacial properties of the nanoparticles.
