In a stable condition : The self‐assembly and induced assembly of a new class of block copolymers containing polystyrene (PS) and polycysteine (PCys) is investigated (see picture). The efficiency of these “molecular chimeras” to encapsulate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and thereby enhance their stability against aggregation, is also demonstrated.
