Conjugated polymer nanoparticles by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in an emulsion at room temperature
Duangratchaneekorn Muenmart,Andrew B. Foster,Alan Harvey,Ming-Tsz Chen,Oscar Navarro,Vinich Promarak,Mark C. McCairn,Jonathan M. Behrendt,Michael L. Turner +8 more
TL;DR: A range of stable emulsions of spherical and rod-like conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPN) were synthesized via Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of 9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diboronic acid bis(1,3-propanediol) ester with a number of different dibromoarene monomers in xylene, stabilized in water by the nonionic surfactant, Triton X-102 as mentioned in this paper.

Monotelechelic poly(p-phenylenevinylene)s by ring opening metathesis polymerisation.
TL;DR: PPVs functionalised with α-bromoester end groups are effective macroinitiators in the atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA).

Scalable synthesis of multicolour conjugated polymer nanoparticles via Suzuki-Miyaura polymerisation in a miniemulsion and application in bioimaging
Jonathan M. Behrendt,Jair Azael Esquivel Guzman,Laura Purdie,Helen Willcock,John J. Morrison,Andrew B. Foster,Rachel K. O'Reilly,Mark C. McCairn,Michael L. Turner +8 more
TL;DR: The robust nature of the polymerisation methodology allows for rapid assessment of the relationship between polymer composition, chain morphology and optical properties of the resultant CPNs, which can be used directly in fluorescence-based intracellular labelling experiments.
Hybrid inorganic–organic composite nanoparticles from crosslinkable polyfluorenes
Jonathan M. Behrendt,Andrew B. Foster,Mark C. McCairn,Helen Willcock,Rachel K. O'Reilly,Michael L. Turner +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a controllable method for optimisation of the photophysical properties of light-emitting conjugated polymer nanoparticles via a simple aqueous processing technique is presented.

Oxetane synthesis via cyclisation of aryl sulfonate esters on polystyrene and PEG polymeric supports
TL;DR: In this article, the addition of suitably protected pentaerythritols to polymer supported sulfonyl chloride with subsequent alkoxide formation and intramolecular cyclisation to generate oxetanes is described.
