Figure 1From: Organic-skinned inorganic nanoparticles: surface-confined polymerization of 6-(3-thienyl)hexanoic acid bound to nanocrystalline TiO2 Surface-bound polymerization of THA to PTHA on surface of a TiO 2 nanocrystallite. The monomer THA was strong bonded to TiO2 surface via -COOH. FeCl3 was used as an oxidizing agent to polymerize the surface-bound THA to its corresponding polymer PTHA.Back to article page
