Facile synthesis of hybrid silica nanocapsules by interfacial templating condensation and their application in fluorescence imaging.
A stable aqueous dispersion of hybrid silica nanocapsules encapsulating fluorescent conjugated polymers have been successfully synthesized via a facile and highly benign approach of templated condensation of silica precursors at the core-corona interface of PEO-based block copolymer micelles.
