They’re better, connected: linking up polymer nanoparticles

<h2>Abstract</h2> Nanoparticles constructed from polymers already find widespread use in catalysis, drug delivery, and sensing contexts. However, almost all current applications do not consider how nanoparticles could behave when connected together. Herein I explore emerging approaches to use polymer nanoparticles as building blocks for developing both physically connected and chemically communicating systems.
