Abstract
A simple method for the surface grafting of crosslinked polystyrene latex particles of narrow size distribution as core is described. Amino groups were generated on the surface of these microspheres by a two-step process of nitration and subsequent reduction. Polyethylene glycol chain of desired molecular weight was covalently linked to the surface amino group using diiso-cyanate-coupling reaction. The method is appropriate for designing brush polymers.
