Amphiphilic colloids of CdS and noble metal nanoparticles, which can be dispersed both in water and organic solvents such as ethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, chloroform, and toluene, are studied. The amphiphilic colloidal nanoparticles are synthesized by grafting the amphiphilic and thermoresponsive polymer of thiol-terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) to CdS and noble metal nanoparticles. The size and morphology of the PNIPAM-grafted colloidal nanoparticles of CdS@PNIPAM can be tuned by changing the molar ratio of PNIPAM/CdS. The size of CdS@PNIPAM nanoparticles slightly decreases first from 5.5 to 4.4 nm then slightly increases from 4.4 to 6.1 nm with the decrease in the molar ratio from 1/1 to 1/10. Spherical nanoparticles of CdS@PNIPAM are synthesized at a higher molar ratio and worm-like nanoparticles are obtained at a lower molar ratio. The resultant PNIPAM-grafted colloidal nanoparticles of CdS@PNIPAM, Au@PNIPAM, Pd@PNIPAM, and Ag@PNIPAM are thermoresponsive in water and show a cloud-point temperature at about 32.5 °C.
