Abstract:
The postpolymerization modification by hydroformylation of 1,2-polybutadiene nanoparticles provides access to colloidally stable aqueous dispersions of <20 nm particles. Their polarity can be adjusted via the degree of conversion of double bonds over a broad range. Fluorescence studies illustrate the polarity of the environment experienced by pyrene as a probe molecule.
