DOIAbstract
Smart nanosystems that transduce external stimuli to physical changes are an inspiring challenge in current materials chemistry. Hybrid organic-inorganic materials attract great attention due to the combination of building blocks responsive to specific external solicitations. In this work, we present a sequential method for obtaining an integrated core-shell-brush nanosystem that transduces light irradiation into a particle size change through a thermoplasmonic effect. We first synthesize hybrid monodisperse systems made up of functionalized silica colloids covered with controllable thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAm, brushes, produced through radical photopolymerization. This methodology was successfully transferred to Au...
