All chemicals were used
as received unless stated otherwise: Zonyl FS-300 (40% solids in water,
ABCR), sodium dodecyl sulfate (99%, Sigma-Aldrich), 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl
acrylate (97%, ABCR), 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate (80%, Sigma-Aldrich),
2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propiophenone (97%, Sigma-Aldrich), 4-dimethylaminopyridin
(99%, Sigma-Aldrich), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (98%, Sigma-Aldrich),
1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (99%, Sigma-Aldrich), fluoresceinamine
(Sigma-Aldrich), 1-octanol (99%, Sigma), gold(III) chloride trihydrate
(49 wt % Au Sigma-Aldrich), sodium citrate, sodium borohydride, 10-hydroxydecanoic
acid (technical grade, Sigma-Aldrich), trimethylamine (99%, Sigma-Aldrich),
acryloyl chloride (97%, Sigma-Aldrich), dichloromethane (Sigma-Aldrich),
Pluronic F-127 (Sigma-Aldrich), dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt
(Sigma-Aldrich), trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate (∼428

water was used as the emulsion continuous phase. 10-(Acryloyloxy)decanoic
acid (ADA) was synthesized using a modified literature procedure (see
the Supporting Information for details).^{49 (link)} Gold nanoparticles were freshly prepared according
to a known literature procedure.^{50 (link)}
