a GPC curves of poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) and polystyrene (PS) obtained by enzyme-degassed Pickering emulsion SET-LRP. Reaction conditions: [Monomer]0/[MBPA or EBiB]0/[Me6-TREN]0/[Cu(0)]0 = 200/1/0.2/0.3. [Lignin nanoparticles] = 2.25 wt% relative to MA or S. b Dependence of experimental Mn (GPC) and Mw/Mn on the [BMA]0/[MBPA]0 ratio. The mean values ± SD (n = 2) of BMA conversion for the different DPs are given in Supplementary Fig. 13, whereas all data points are shown in b. c GPC analysis of block copolymerization via purification-reinitiation strategy of poly(butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) with styrene (S) to synthetize a PBMA-PS block copolymer. Reaction conditions for the PBMA macroinitiator: [BMA]0/[MBPA]0/[Me6-TREN]0/[Cu(0)]0 = 50/1/0.2/0.3. [GOx-chi-LNPs] = 2.25 wt% relative to BMA.
