In this talk we will present recent results from our laboratory relating to the application of intra-chain radical chemistry to the synthesis of polymeric nanostructures. Specifically, we’ll report on the formation of nanoparticles from single polymer chains (single-chain nanoparticles or SCNP) using a variety of intramolecular radical coupling and polymerization reactions. We will also present our characterization methods for these materials including spectroscopic methods, triple detection size exclusion chromatography, and electron microscopy.
