Abstract

A simple one-step procedure, based on the sonochemical degradation of water-soluble polymers in aqueous solution in the presence of a hydrophobic monomer leads to functional hairy polymer particles in a residual-free serum. The versatility of this procedure is illustrated with a range of hydrophobic monomers and water-soluble polymers.
