Abstract

Read online

Monodisperse colloidal particles with tunable properties show promise for biomedical, energy, and environmental applications and simple routes for fabricating these particles are of interest. Here, the authors report a facile strategy for fabrication of diverse particles based on the supramolecular assembly of phenols and self-polymerizable thiols
