title: Synthesis of colloidal particles with the symmetry of water molecules.
abstract: We describe a method for synthesizing "colloidal water": monodisperse micrometer-sized polymer particles with the symmetry of water molecules. Our approach is based on multistep seeded polymerization with variation of cross-linker concentration in each step. This enables precise control of swelling selectivity and phase-separation, which control the particle morphology.
