Diblock Copolymer Nanoparticles Act as Nanoreactors for the Synthesis of Sterically‐Stabilized Inorganic Oxide Particles in Non‐polar Media

ABSTRACT Well‐defined diblock copolymer nanoparticles are prepared via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization of 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in a poly(α‐olefin) oil at 90°C using a poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA) precursor. The P...
