Nanochemistry in confined environments: Polyelectrolyte brush-assisted synthesis of gold nanoparticles inside ordered mesoporous thin films

A robust and straightforward strategy allowing the controlled confinement of metal nanoparticles within the 3D framework of mesoporous films is presented. The chemical methodology is based on the inner surface modification of mesoporous silica films with polyelectrolyte brushes. We demonstrate that...
