The direct construction of protein-like multicompartment nanoparticles (MCNs) possessing hydrophilic/hydrophobic subdomains is a contemporary challenge. Herein, we present the first example of such MCNs via self-assembly of the specially designed A(BC)20 star polymer in an aqueous solution. The topology of the 21-ar...

A general approach to asymmetrically localize nanoparticles (NPs) in larger polymeric nanostructures is demonstrated by coassembly of tadpole-like silver NPs (AgNPs) and amphiphilic block copolymers (BCPs). The tadpole-like AgNPs are prepared by template synthesis using a tailor-made A(BC)20 star polymer, namely pol...
