Abstract

A polystyrene‐block‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) (PS‐b‐P2VP) micellar structure with a P2VP core containing 5 nm CdS nanoparticles (NPs) and a PS shell formed in toluene that is a good solvent for PS block undergoes the core‐shell inversion by excess addition of methanol that is a good solvent for P2VP block. It leads to the formation of micellar shell‐embedded CdS NPs in the methanol major phase. The spontaneous crystalline growth of Au NPs on the CdS surfaces positioned at micellar shells without a further reduction process is newly demonstrated. The nanostructure of Au/CdS/PS‐b‐P2VP hybrid NPs is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray, and UV‐Vis absorption.

## Abstract CdS nanoparticles of 4.5 nm diameter were synthesized in poly(2‐vinylpyridine) micellar cores which were obtained by solvating a polystyrene‐__block__‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) block copolymer in polystyrene‐selective toluene. Then, a C~60~‐toluene solution was dispersed into the CdS micell

Incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) into selfassembled block copolymers offers a powerful route for the formation of hybrid materials with desired optical, electronic, and magnetic properties through the choice of NPs and their distribution in polymer assemblies. [1][2][3][4] Nanostructur
