Nano polymerization catalysts: Further insights into nanoparticle-facilitated polymerization of olefins

Conjugation of gold nanoparticles with multidentate surfactants for enhanced stability and biological properties

“…These can be prepared separately, [18][19][20][21][22] or by polymerization directly on the NP. 6,[22][23][24][25][26] In the first case, polymers as This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2023 poly(isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) or poly(acrylic acid) can be used as precursors to produce a library of multi-branching polymers containing primary amines. In fact, by exploiting succinic anhydrides or carboxylic acids in the monomeric units, molecules as dopamine, PEG (polyethylene glycol), and synthetic ones (i.e.…”
