SURFACE MODIFICATION OF MICRO-BUBBLES AND NANOPARTICLES BASED ON POLY(ALKYL CYANOACRYLATE)

Abstract

The present invention relates, inter alia, to a method for functionalizing a cyanoacrylate-based material comprising the steps of providing a cyanoacrylate-based material having ester groups; providing a ligand having an amino group; contacting the cyanoacrylate-based material with the ligand under conditions favoring aminolysis of the amino group of the ligand and the ester groups of the cyanoacrylate-based material; and optionally obtaining the cyanoacrylate-based material functionalized with the ligand.
