title: Developing mutually encapsulating materials for versatile syntheses of multilayer metal-silica-polymer hybrid nanostructures.
abstract: New methods to self-assemble polystyrene-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PSPAA) on silica via electrostatic interaction and to deposit silica on PSPAA shells are developed. The mutual encapsulation of silica and PSPAA allows versatile syntheses of well-controlled nanohybrids.
