Uniform shape monodisperse single chain nanocrystals by living aqueous catalytic polymerization

The formation of polymer nanoparticles with a uniform size and shape, beyond spheres, is an unresolved problem. Here the authors show a living aqueous catalytic polymerization forming single crystal particles grown by a single active site and composed of a single ultra high molecular weight polyethy...
