We synthesize and characterize stimuli-sensitive core/shell particles with functional group (or material) localized in the core. We previously reported two types of hybrid particles prepared by using the template particles which were synthesized by soap-free emulsion copolymerization withN-isopropylacrylamide and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as monomers but by different preparation methods. GMA has advantages in immobilizing materials having several functional groups such as thiol ones. In this study, to obtain the suitable template particles for immobilizing any inorganic nanoparticles in the core, we investigated the effect of feed ratio of the two monomers. Obtained template particles were modified by thiol compounds to introduce ionic groups. They were characterized by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. After in situ synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles in the templates, the hybrid particles were characterized directly by transmission electron microscopy. Consequently, we could obtain the hybrid core/shell particles which contained a large amount of magnetic nanoparticles (∼33 wt%) in the core.
