Abstract:Biomineralization is an effective approach for the fabrication of structural materials with hierarchical architectures. In this research, surface biomineralization on latex particles synthesized by reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mediated emulsion polymerization is reported. Two biomacromolecular chain transfer agents (biomacro-CTAs), one with pendant glutathione (GSH) and the other with GSH and bovine serum albumin (GSH/BSA), were synthesized by RAFT polymerization and subsequent thiol… Show more
