This paper describes the preparation of size-controlled CdS nanoparticles in block copolymer micelles and the formation of composite particles of the CdS nanoparticles and polymers. Uniformly sized CdS nanoparticles having various color emission spectra were successfully synthesized. Moreover, composite Janus particles, unidirectionally stacked lamellae and onion particles were formed by combination of CdS nanoparticles and polymer blend or block copolymer systems. This approach provides a simple route for preparation of functional organic/inorganic composite particles.
