Influence of temperature on the formation and encapsulation of gold nanoparticles using a temperature-sensitive template

This data article describes the synthesis of temperature-sensitive and amine-rich microgel particle as a dual reductant and template to generate smart gold/polymer nanocomposite particle. TEM images illustrate the influence of reaction temperature on the formation and in-site encapsulation of gold nanoparticles using the temperature-sensitive microgel template. Thermal stability of the resultant gold/polymer composite particles was also examined. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
