Abstract

Abstract : Monomers with metal complexes were polymerized and the random co-polymers having different metal species were successfully obtained, further extending to prepare nanoparticles using plasmid DNA as a template and the polymers as lego blocks. Abstract : Acrylate monomers with metal complexes were designed to build polymer metal complexes. The ideal copolymerization of monomers with zinc and platinum was performed to obtain random copolymers with a feeding metal composition. The successful nano-colloid preparation from the polymers further highlighted the potential of the method for building multimetallic materials.
