Multifunctional nanoparticles with controllable dimensions and tripled orthogonal reactivity†
Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles featuring three distinct and orthogonal functionalities for performing catalyst-free click reactions of azide–alkyne and maleimide–thiol and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) are fabricated using a simple chemical vapor deposition copolymerization approach with the flexibility to control the particle size and geometry.
