We report a preliminary result on a facile synthesis of Au@[oleic acid]@[polystyrene-poly(acrylic acid)] yolk shell structure using swelling and de-swelling method. The yolk shell structure formed contained a pseudo layer/middle layer is made up of fluid like oleic acid. Using this method, structure...
