Chemical synthesis and characterization of poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate)-grafted CdTe nanocrystals via RAFT polymerization for covalent immobilization of adenosine

This paper describes the functionalization of poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PPEGMA)-grafted CdTe (PPEGMA-g-CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) via surface-initiated reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization for immobilization of adenosine. Initially, the hydroxyl-coa...
