As robust functional polymers, polymer brush-based hybrid nanomaterials have potential application in the highly sensitive determination of tumor markers (TMs). Currently, there are plentiful reports on the polymerization methods of functional polymer brushes. Low ppm ATRP (activators (re)generated by electron

In this study, drug nanocarriers were designed using linear copolymers with different contents of cholinium-based ionic liquid units, i.e., [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (TMAMA/Cl: 25, 50, and 75 mol%). The amphiphilicity of the copolymers was evaluated on the basis of their critical

In this study, a simple and efficient strategy for the construction of hydrangea-like mesoporous WO3 nanoflowers templated using diblock copolymer PS119-PtBA129 was developed. The nanoflower shows good gas sensing properties, especially for 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (3H-2B), which is the signature metabolite of
