Fullerenes have unique structural and electronic properties that make them attractive candidates for diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic applications. However, their poor water solubility remains a limiting factor in realizing their full biomedical potential. Here, we present an approach based on a combination of supramolecular and covalent chemistry to access well-defined fullerene-containing polymer nanoparticles with a core-shell structure.

Article Synopsis
- Polyvinylcyclopropanes are polymers known for low shrinkage during polymerization.
- This study reveals that they can undergo a sharp, tunable aggregation process in water when heated to temperatures between 25-46 °C.
- The findings could open up new research opportunities and applications for polyvinylcyclopropanes.
