Abstract

A highly efficient nanoreactor that contains silver nanoparticles in hollow silica spheres and an interpolymer network as a gate-keeper has been developed following a facile procedure. The fast “signal-triggered” switch of the smart network results in a high reactivity and a high response rate, yielding improved potential for many practical applications.
