(a) After CNP-PCDA resuspension, PS-b-PAA is added and self-assembled, entrapping carbon spheres. Powder is shown for visual representation of final NCS product. (b) Number averaged histogram depicting the hydrodynamic diameter of NCS in water as measured by DLS. An overlay of the CNP-PCDA histogram is shown for comparison.
