Catechol Redox Induced Formation of Metal Core-Polymer Shell Nanoparticles
{{output}}
A novel strategy was developed to synthesize polymer-coated metal nanoparticles (NPs) through reduction of metal cations with 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)-containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers. Catechol redox chemistry was used to both synthesize ... ...
