abstract = {Coating metal nanocrystals with responsive polymers
provides a model case of smart, functional materials, where
the optical properties can be modulated by external stimuli.
However the optical response is highly sensitive to the
polymer shell morphology, thickness and dielectric contrast.
In this paper we study the nature of cross-linked,
thermoresponsive polymer shells for the first time using
four different scattering approaches to elucidate the
density profile of the shells. Each scattering method
provides unique information about the temperature-induced
changes of shell thickness in terms of hydrodynamic radius
and radius of gyration, the pair-distance distribution
functions of the shells as well as the dynamic network
fluctuations. Only a combination of these different
scattering techniques allows to develop a morphological
model of the core–shell particles. We further demonstrate
control of the cross-linker distribution in core–shell
synthesis by semi-batch precipitation copolymerization.
Conducting the polymerization in three steps, we show for
the first time that the polymer shell thickness can be
successively increased without affecting the shell
morphology and response behavior.},
