• spectrophotometer, Perkin Elmer, USA), verifying the synthesis of the Au nanoparticles. Polymer characterization 1H NMR spectra were measured in D2O at 80 °C using a 300 or 600 MHz spectrometer. 13C NMR spectra were measured in D2O at 80 °C at 150 MHz. No attempts were made to remove the residual water from the NMR
