A generalized approach to form hybrid organic–inorganic nanocomposite microparticles via the structural reorganization of Pickering emulsion templates is described by V. M. Rotello and co‐workers on page 1302. Hydrophilic nanoparticles assembled at the oil/water interface react with a hydrophobic polymer, pulling the particles into the oil core. The combined self‐assembly and in‐situ covalent conjugation strategy provides a facile method to generate robust porous nanocomposites with excellent stability and high capacity.
