Abstract:
Pure toroidal micelles of highly uniform shape and size are presented by T. Chang et al. in their Communication on page 4594 ff. The donut‐shaped micelles are prepared by spontaneous self‐assembly of a polyisoprene‐block‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) copolymer, and are stable enough to act as a template for the growth of gold nanoparticles along the ring surface.
