Novel approach to functionalized nanoparticles: Self-crosslinking of macromolecules in ultradilute solution
Abstract
The intramolecular self-crosslinking of functionalized macromolecules under ultradilute conditions was analyzed. The size and the chemical nature of the nanoparticles was easily controlled by this technique. The utility of such nanoparticles in the generation of nanoporous thin films, using the particles as sacrificial porogens was also demonstrated.
