title: Interfacial strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (I-SPAAC) for the synthesis of nanomaterial hybrids.
abstract: An interfacial strain promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (I-SPACC) is introduced as a method to prepare robust nanomaterial hybrids. This is demonstrated with a reaction between a novel dibenzocyclooctyne-modified single walled carbon nanotubes (DBCO-SWCNT) and a versatile water-soluble azide modified gold nanoparticle (N3-EG4-AuNP).
