On page 2709, Mesut Bilgi, Demet Karaca Balta, Binnur Aydogan Temel, and Gokhan Temel discuss the synthesis of single chain folding polymeric nanoparticles (SCNPs) with photodimerization of anthracene moieties on the side chain of a terpolymer. Pyrene functional nanoparticles were produced via straightforward Menschutkin quaternization procedure using tertiary amine functionalities of photodimerized nanoparticles and externally added bromo‐functional pyrene compound. Achieved pyrene possessing polymeric nanoparticles were readily attached onto multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) surfaces using noncovalent interactions. The illustrated image shows the formation of SCNPs@MWCNT via simple π‐π stacking methodology. According to TEM images, SCNPs were easily detected on the MWCNT surface and resulting polymeric nanoparticles strongly interacted with nanotubes. Various MWCNTs were interconnected by pyrene functionalized SCNPs. (DOI: 10.1002/pola.29245 )
