Nanoreactors : Metal nanoparticles must be stabilized with carrier systems against aggregation if they are to have applications in catalysis. One such system, a thermosensitive network of poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide) that surrounds a polystyrene core, enables control over the catalytic activity of the nanoparticles through a phase transition and leads to applications as a controllable nanoreactor.
