| Abstract | Nanocapsules composed of cross-linked membranes and empty voids have found wide applications as drug delivery carriers, sensors and nanosized reactors. In this research, a new method for the fabrication of functional nanocapsules is proposed. Poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate)-block-(poly(tert-butyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)) (POEGMA-b-(PtBMA-g-PDMAEMA)) brush polymers were synthesized by two-step reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization. The pendant PDMAEMA chains were grafted to the backbones through disulfide bonds. In acidic water, the brush polymer chains self-assembled into micelles with PtBMA cores and POEGMA/PDMAEMA mixed coronae. Upon cross-linking of PDMAEMA chains and cleavage of the disulfides with tri-n-butylphosphine, hydrophilic nanocapsules were obtained. The brush polymers were analyzed by gel permeation chromatography and 1H NMR. The sizes and the morphologies of the micelles and the nanocapsules were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The thiol groups on the inner walls of the nanocapsules undergo a thiol–ene reaction with fluorescein O-methacrylate (FMA). The photoluminescence results demonstrate that FMA molecules are able to pass through the membranes and functionalization of the nanocapsules can be performed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
