fluoride (TBAF, 1.0 M in THF) were purchased from Aldrich (USA). HEMATMS
monomer was purified by passing through a column filled with basic
alumina before use. All other listed reagents were used as received.
The CI particles (>97.8%) with average of 1 μm in diameter
(ES
grade, BASF, Germany) were used in this study. Silicone oil Lukosiol
M200 (Koln, Czech Republic) was used as received.
