Resumen:
Heterophase polymerizations have gained increasing attention in the past
decades, especially as the decoration and functionalization of the
particle surface for further applications gets more and more into focus.
One promising approach for the functionalization exclusively on the
particle surface is the use of surfmers (surfactant and monomer).
Herein, we present the synthesis of a new family of surfmers and their
use for decorating nanoparticles with phosphonate groups through
miniemulsion polymerization. Furthermore the synthesis of a dye-labeled
functional surfmer provided an elegant manner to evaluate and get deeper
insights about its copolymerization. Additionally, potential
applications of the synthesized particles in biological studies as well
as their use as template for biomimetic mineralization are presented.
