This first chapter gives a theoretical introduction to the subjects of this thesis. After the general introduction, which also contains the main objectives for the performed work, the current state of research of the underlying field and the basics for the easy understanding of the results in the main part are outlined in the section “Theoretical background”. The key topics here are polymers, in particular RAFT polymerization, the very special properties of pNIPAm, and the relevant concepts of nanosciences, including the general pathways for the surface functionalization of nanomaterials with polymers.
