Abstract
Polymer-grafted nanoparticles, often called hairy nanoparticles (HNPs), are an intriguing class of nanostructured hybrid materials with great potential in a variety of applications, including advanced polymer nanocomposite fabrication, drug delivery, imaging, and lubrication. This Feature Article provides an introduction to characterization of various aspects of HNPs, from basic defining parameters to behavior of HNPs in solvents and self-assembled structures of multicomponent brush nanoparticles, by using a broad range of analytical tools.
