title: A "ship-in-a-bottle" approach to synthesis of polymer dots@silica or polymer dots@carbon core-shell nanospheres.
abstract: A "ship-in-a-bottle" approach to the entrapment and assembly of nanometer-sized polymer dots in hollow silica or carbon nanospheres with size-selective micropores is presented. This new type of core-shell nanospheres exhibits excellent photoluminescence properties and significant adsorption capabilities for transition-metal ions.
