Nanosized Organo-Silica Particles with “Built-In” Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Capability as a Platform for Brush Particle Synthesis

A facile synthetic method was developed to prepare sub-5 nm organo-silica (oSiO2) nanoparticles through the self-condensation of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)-initiator-containing sil...
