I want small fluorescent beads (~um range) and i was wondering what the simplest method of doing this would be without covalently bonding the fluorescein to the polymer
If you want to water soluble and hydrophobic polymer than you use N-vinyl pyrolidone (NVP)or water insoluble polymers like Methyl methacrylate (MMA), Styrene, Glycidyl methacrylate(GMA), polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate and many more acrylate polymers are available.
If want to water soluble and hydrophilic polymers are polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide and many more.
