Hybrid core–corona nanoassemblies (shown schematically in the picture, middle) can be used as supramolecular precursors for metal hydroxide colloids (right) with long-term stability. Anionic–neutral hydrophilic diblock copolymers allow metal hydrolysis and condensation reactions to occur in suspension. Particle size and morphology can be varied by adjusting the degree of metal complexation.
