Schematic representation of binding of Cu2+ to the polymeric nanoparticle 5, synthesised in one-pot via mini-emulsion polymerisation. The naphthalimide reporter is covalently bound inside the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticle, and the Cu2+ receptor (vinylbenzylcyclam) is covalently attached to the polymer surface [72].
