Amphiphilic polymer‐coating for nanoparticles : The facile one‐pot synthesis of a comblike polymer can be tailored in order to vary its hydrophobic side‐chains or to directly incorporate functional molecules without the need for crosslinkers. This leads to a general and robust method of phase‐transfer of hydrophobic nanoparticles to aqueous solution, as well as to their modification with functional molecules.
