title: Water-soluble C60- and C70-PVP polymers for biomaterials with efficient (1)O2 generation.
abstract: Highly water-soluble fullerene polymers were successfully prepared by a simple direct free-radical copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone and intact C60 or C70 as a radical-capping agent. Using AIBN as a radical initiator, the polymers (C60- or C70-PVP) with significantly high molecular weight (~30 kDa) and with efficient (1)O2 generation were obtained.
