“…Because the shell is identical to the matrix and because no dispersants are needed, particle–polymer coupling can be directly achieved. Given that no matrix binders are needed between polymers (e.g., poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA], polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS], PVP, , polyethylenimine [PEI], polyamidoamine [PAMAM], poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) [PNIPAM], poly(9-vinylcarbazole) [PVK], PVA, polystyrene [PS], and poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) [PDEAEMA]) and inorganic NPs (e.g., metals, alloys, and semiconductors), in principle, unlimited types of polymer composites are obtainable . In addition, various biopolymers, such as starch, , gelatin, and chitosan, , or the biomacromolecule bovine serum albumin (BSA) , are increasingly interesting for use as biocompatible stabilizers to realize size-controlled and well-dispersed NPs, endowing NPs with much better stability than water .…”
