A one-pot synthesis of micron-sized and nanoscale poly(N-acryloxysuccinimide-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone) particles

We report a one-pot synthesis of well-defined micron-sized or nanoscale poly(N-acryloxysuccinimide-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone) particles. We show that these pre-activated particles can be easily coupled to an amine-functionalized cargo in a single step to generate particles with uniform fluorescence.
