New paper in Journal of Materials Chemistry B
Roshan and colleagues have recently published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B their work employing surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) to graft thermo-responsive copolymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates from the surface of diatom biosilica microcapsules. Furthermore, the application of the resulting composites for thermo-responsive drug delivery is also demonstrated.
