Surface initiated polymerizations yield covalently bonded polymer on the substrate. The properties of such nanoparticles are unique finding a wide range of applications. This article reviews the different techniques of synthesis of these hybrid nanoparticles and their mechanistic approach presented in literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
