Aerobic exercise : A dispersion of nanoparticles of platinum in an amphiphilic polystyrene–polyethylene glycol resin (ARP‐Pt) contains particles with a mean diameter of 5.9 nm and a narrow size distribution throughout the resin. ARP‐Pt is a readily recyclable catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of a wide variety of alcohols in water with an oxygen or air atmosphere under heterogeneous conditions (see picture).
