title: Functional, composite polythioether nanoparticles via thiol-alkyne photopolymerization in miniemulsion.
abstract: Thiol-yne photopolymerization in miniemulsion is demonstrated as a simple, rapid, and one-pot synthetic approach to polythioether nanoparticles with tuneable particle size and clickable functionality. The strategy is also useful in the synthesis of composite polymer-inorganic nanoparticles.
