Core-shell polymers have attracted increasing interest since they make it possible to control particle size and functionality. The precise design of functional materials requires synthesis of materials with controlled molecular weight and well-defined chain architecture as well as low molecular weight distribution. These requirements can be achieved by conducting living polymerizations, particularly controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP). In this work we proposed the development of hybrid nanomateriales from inorganic nanoparticles and different polymers by surface modification by atom radical transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT).
