Effects of crosslinked nanoshells covering self-oscillating microgels on their oscillating behaviors were reported. We carried out seeded precipitation polymerization of N-substituted acrylamide derivatives using preformed, self-oscillating microgels as cores. The obtained core/shell microgels were characterized by dynamic light scattering. Thereafter, their oscillating behaviors were characterized by changes in optical transmittance. In this study, oscillating behaviors of core/shell microgels were compared with that of the parent core microgel to clarify the effect of nanoshell addition on the oscillating behaviors of microgels.
