Temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), or poly(NIPAM), layers were reliably prepared around guest molecule (i.e., rhodamine B)-loaded mesoporous silica (SiO2) particles via thermally- and light-induced radical polymerizations. Subsequent removal of the sacrificial SiO2 particles with di...
