Co-initiated hyperbranched-polydendron building blocks for the direct nanoprecipitation of dendron-directed patchy particles with heterogeneous surface functionality

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A synthetic strategy branched polymer building blocks that allow the rapid construction of patchy nanoparticles is presented. Hyperbranched polydendrons with mixtures of PEG and thiol-functional dendrons nanoprecipitate to form isolated zones that are imaged with gold nanoparticles.
