Polyethylene-Grafted Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Using Catalyzed Chain Growth (CCG)

We report an efficient synthesis route for the formation of gold/silver-core–PE-shell nanohybrids in a simple self-assembly approach using PE with strong aurophilicity and argentophilicity, via thiol- and trithiocarbonate terminated moieties. This united the unique properties of polyethylene (PE) wi...
