Synthesis and photo-postmodification of zeolite L based polymer brushes Zeolite L is a versatile material with unique properties that serves as a highly interesting building block for innovative systems. Within this work a novel type of zeolite L/polymer hybrid material is presented. Polymer brush particles are generated using surface-functionalized zeolite L crystals as macroinitiators in controlled radical polymerization processes. Copolymerization of a photo-cleavable monomer and subsequent spin trapping of functionalized nitroxides under UV irradiation leads to a variety of highly functionalized zeolite L-based core–shell particles in a modular approach. www.rsc.org/polymers Polymer Chemistry www.rsc.org/polymers ISSN 1759-9954 REVIEW ARTICLE Daniel Crespy et al.
