Two new polymerizable surfactants (surfmers), p-[11-(acrylamido)-undecanoyloxy]phenyldimethylsulfonium methylsulfate (AUPDS) and p-[11-(methacrylamido)undecanoyloxy]phenyldimethylsulfonium methylsulfate (MUPDS), were synthesized and used for the preparation of functional polymer nanoparticles. The surfmers were characterized (cmc AUPDS = 6.0 ± 0.2 mmol . L -1 ; cmc MUPDS = 3.2 ± 0.2 mmol . L -1 ) and employed in emulsion polymerization with methyl methacrylate as a comonomer. Depending on the surfmer-to-comonomer ratio, the resulting particles had a dynamic light scattering diameter between 109 nm and 167 nm. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed a very narrow size distribution. The particles showed a ζ-potential of 20 to 24 mV as measured by micro-electrophoresis, corresponding to the electrostatic stabilization by the positively charged sulfonium group of the surfmer. The reactivity of the particle bound active ester was determined by titration of the latex with a fluorescent probe and subsequent fluorescence analysis. 6-Aminofluoresceine was immobilized from 0.8 μmol to 9.6 μmol per I g particles depending on the AUPDS starting concentration in emulsion polymerization
