Glycosylated Nanoparticles by SET-LR-PISA

The possibility to functionalize NPs surfaces allowed their implementation into many fields, i.e. cosmetics, agricultural, diagnostics. In medicine, they can be use as drug carrier for the encapsulation of hydrophobic and toxic drugs. Herein, the introduction of a propargylic moiety within the hydrophilic shell of the NPs provides a versatile framework for the surface functionalization of NPs via copper catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAc)
