“…Generally, three primary approaches have been employed for producing core–shell nanostructure nanohybrids: direct synthesis, − grafting-to, − and grafting-from approaches. − The macro-RAFT-mediated grafting-from approach is one of the most useful ways to encapsulate a range of NPs including gold NPs, − silver NPs, , iron oxide NPs, quantum dots (QDs), silica (SiO 2 ), − titania (TiO 2 ), phthalocyanine blue (PB), calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), montmorillonite clay, − etc. Typically, Nguyen et al were the first to report the application of this strategy to hydrophilic inorganic pigments (represented by zirconia and aluminum-coated titanium dioxide) and hydrophobic organic pigments (represented by PB).…”
