However, the dual key-role of curcumin, as reducing agent and growth-polymerization promoter in this specific synthesis, required additional investigation to understand and optimize the chemical variables (solubility, concentration and reaction temperature) in order to achieve homogeneous, monodisperse and mononuclear Ag@cur-P(MEO 2 MA) core-shell nanohybrids. The presence of hydrophobic curcumin nearby the metallic surface led to precipitation-polymerization of P(MEO 2 MA) around the AgNPs previously formed (Fig. 1B,C) ; and the resulting Ag@cur-P(MEO 2 MA) nanoparticles were born negatively charged due to the persulfate groups from the APS initiator, which promotes their colloidal stability.	./cache/cord-004016-iaktm72a.txt	./txt/cord-004016-iaktm72a.txt
