Summary: Polyaniline (PANI) is successfully self‐assembled with poly( N ‐vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) into aqueous nanocolloids. The typical morphology of the colloids is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM), which reveals spherical nanoparticles with a diameter of 80–150 nm. A possible mechanism for such a post‐synthetic self‐assembly process is proposed.AFM micrograph of PANI aqueous nanocolloids stabilized by PVP via a novel post‐synthetic self‐assembly method.
