Hairy micelles are obtained by using amphiphilic diblock copolymers with long hydrophilic blocks which favor single encapsulation of Au nanoparticles (ca. 5 nm, see figure). Antibody molecules can be attached to the hydrogel layers of the encapsulated Au nanoparticles to give nanoparticle/biomolecule conjugates.
