Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A polymeric micelle assembly</bold> is used for the fabrication of well‐dispersed mesoporous Pt nanospheres by Y. Yamauchi, B. P. Bastakoti et al. in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 11073 ff.</ext-link> A core–shell–corona triblock copolymer [poly(styrene‐<italic>b</italic>‐2‐vinylpyridine‐<italic>b</italic>‐ethylene oxide), PS‐<italic>b</italic>‐P2VP‐<italic>b</italic>‐PEO], is employed as the pore‐directing agent. The negatively charged Pt species preferably interact with the protonated P2VP blocks, while the free PEO chains prevent the aggregation of the Pt nanospheres.<graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2n0vwcvr" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
