Abstract

A facile and unconventional strategy has been developed for the fabrication of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs)-loaded hybrid core–shell microgels. The formation of core–shell microgels constitutes a novel mechanism in which the ionic crosslinking of charged polymers (e.g., alginate) drives the unidirectional migration of NPs towards the center of droplets.
