Abstract:A novel, simple and generic method for the preparation of hydrophobic nanocrystal loaded composite capsules is introduced. Firstly, magnetic Fe(3)O(4) nanocrystals prepared by pyrolysis of fatty acid iron salts in non-aqueous media were successfully incorporated into water-dispersible polyglutamate/polyelectrolyte capsules by combining an ultrasonic protocol and polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly. Then, inspired by the similar synthesis mechanism of oxide and semiconductor nanocrystals based on orga… Show more
