Hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity tunable hyperbranched polystyrenes as novel supports for transition-metal nanoparticles†
Abstract
Development of a new preparative procedure for hyperbranched polystyrene having Cl end groups (HPS–Cl) enables to prepare HPS–NR3+Cl−, for which the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity is tunable by the R groups. The resulting
