Modular construction of single-component polymer nanocapsules through a one-step surfactant-free microemulsion templated synthesis†‡
Abstract
Formation of O/W surfactant-free microemulsions from water/oil/acetone ternary systems is exploited to construct precisely-defined shell-functionalized core-loaded nanocapsules with tunable diameters (ranging from 50 to 190 nm) in one step.
