23. The thiocarbonylthio moiety, while capable of binding to gold surfaces, would not prevent the ligand exchange process from reversing the AuNP "locking" of the polymersome as each polymer chain would only be attached at one point. Additionally, the concentration of dithioester functionality is dwarfed by the DMAEMA functionality (165: 1) and the added thiol (1650: 1)
