Combinatorial synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles. (A) Epoxide-containing block copolymers and amines were used to synthesize a combinatorial library of hairy core-shell nanoparticles. (B) Synthesis occurs via the ring-opening reaction of epoxides by amines forming β-hydroxyl groups and cross-linking points separated by the functionality (X) contained in the amine. Each nanoparticle is named by a letter corresponding to the starting block copolymer and a number corresponding to an amine.
