A novel polymeric nano-capsule bearing quaternary ammonium iodide (QAI) groups on both the outer and inner surfaces of the shell was synthesized via self-catalyzed polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). Because QAI works as a catalyst of reversible complexation mediated living radical polymeri...
