TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and guest affinities of polymers featuring a single recognition site in the middle of the polymer chain were reported, and these polymers were synthesized from difunctional initiators based on the same idea.

TL;DR: Profiling the overall physico-chemical changes in tumor cells provides an alternative strategy to cancer diagnostics and an unbiased gold nanoparticle-based array sensor to detect cancer cells as well as complex tumor tissues is developed.

TL;DR: In this article, polystyrene scaffolds were grafted with model functionalities featuring strongly interacting hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking elements and both glass transition temperatures and degree of microphase separation in functionalized block copolymers depend on the nature of the functionality and in particular on the strength of intermolecular interactions.

TL;DR: A detailed procedure for the synthesis, purification, and functionalization of biologically compatible gold nanoparticles for in vitro and in vivo studies is described.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize hydrophobic (polymer) and hydrophilic (silica) supported furans and cyclopentadienes and demonstrate the importance of secondary interactions in the creation of these materials.
