Abstract
Provided are novel polymerizable monomers allowing preparation of exceptionally useful surface coatings by polymerization. Embodiments include highly reticulated chiral nanoparticles useful, for example, for covalently grating biological ligands, epitaxial growth of conductive polymers onto surface modified indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes and arrays of gold nanodots and electroconductive polymers.
