A magnetically active Fe 3 O 4 /poly(ethylene oxide)- block -poly(butadiene) (PEO- b -PBD) nanocomposite is formed by the encapsulation of magnetite nanoparticles with a short-chain amphiphilic block copolymer. This material is then incorporated into the self-assembly of higher order polymer architectures, along with an organic pigment, to yield biosynthetic, bifunctional optical and magnetically active Fe 3 O 4 /bacteriochlorophyll c /PEO- b -PBD polymeric chlorosomes.
