Particles on the tube : Here, novel surface functionalization of WS 2 nanotubes with polymeric ligands, by complexation with a combination of Ni 2+ through a scorpionate‐type nitrilotriacetic acid, and immobilization of TiO 2 nanoparticles onto the surface of nanotubes is demonstrated (see schematic representation). The synthesis of the functional polymeric ligands was achieved through a reactive polymer precursor route.
