Branched Polymer Nanoparticles

We are pioneering the generation of new polymer nanoparticles, including dendrimers, through one-pot branched polymer synthesis routes and using novel mixed initiation approaches. The new polymer platform, hyperbranched-Polydendrons, has also been introduced and xanthate functional groups leading tp thiol functionality and thiol-acrylate Michael Addition chemistry has allowed reactive materials and patchy particle synthesis.
