A variety of polymer shells with controlled and uniform thickness are easily formed on the surfaces of silica and titania colloids by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP; see picture of silica–PMMA core–shell nanoparticles). Carbon capsules derived from polydivinylbenzene shells can be used in applications such as the encapsulation of pyrene molecules, which is a photochromic dye. These results demonstrate the usefulness of VDP as a simple method to fabricate various capsule materials as well as core–shell nanoparticles.
