A novel approach was developed to prepare poly(2-methacryloxy ethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride) (MATAC) brushes covalently tethered on the surface of magnetic nano-particles (MNPs) through ATRP. These hybrid nanoparticles had an exceptionally good dispersibility in water. This ATRP approach should be able to be used in the synthesis of other polymer brushes coated MNPs with increasing functionality and application potentials.
