"Hydrothermal wrapping" with poly(4-vinylpyridine) introduces functionality: pH-sensitive core-shell carbon nanomaterials

Negatively charged carbon nanoparticles (surface-phenylsulfonated) are "wrapped" in a poly(4-vinylpyridine) cationomer and hydrothermally converted into a pH-responsive core-shell nano-composite. With a "thin shell" this nano-material (ca. 20-40 nm diameter) is water-insoluble bu...
