Abstract

Polymersomes derived from a RAFT-generated, thermally responsive diblock copolymer, P(DMAEMA165-b-NIPAM435), were shell cross-linked by in situ gold nanoparticle formation. The cross-linking was subsequently reversed by the addition of the thiols capable of inducing a ligand exchange on the surface of the gold nanoparticle.
