title: Supramolecular gold nanoparticle-polymer composites formed in water with cucurbit[8]uril.
abstract: A gold nanoparticle-polymer composite material has been prepared in water using cucurbit[8]uril as a supramolecular "handcuff" to hold together viologen-functionalised gold nanoparticles and a naphthol-functionalised acrylamide copolymer.
