New core–shell nanoparticles were synthesized by grafting a poly(acrylate amide) shell onto a cross-linked polystyrene nanoparticle (NP) via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The core–shell NPs self assemble into self-healing materials in which the dynamic hydrogen-bonding shell confers self-healing properties while the hard cross-linked core provides stiffness.
