Abstract

Three in one: TiO2 nanoparticles have been functionalized with reactive polymeric ligands that incorporate chelating dopamine anchor groups, a modifying unit to allow the binding of functional molecules such as fluorescent dyes (see picture), as well as groups to tailor the solubility of the inorganic nanocrystals in different solvents. (Figure Presented).
