The functional poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) brush was grafted onto the alkyl-bromide-modified magnetite/silica/poly(N,N鈥?methylenebisacrylamide-co-2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (Fe3O4@SiO2@PHEMA) trilayer microspheres via the surface-induced atom transfer radical polymerization. Fe3O4@SiO2@PHEMA trilayer microspheres with surface alkyl bromide groups were prepared by the combination of sol鈥揼el process for the synthesis of Fe3O4@SiO2 core鈥搒hell inorganic component and distillation鈥損recipitation polymerization for the formation of PHEMA shell together with the subsequent esterification of the surface hydroxyl group and 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide. Furthermore, the gold nanoparticles were facilely loaded into the functional PDMAEMA brushes through the in situ reduction due to their strong coordinate interaction. These PDMAEMA brush-stabilized gold nanocolloids were used as a catalyst with the reduction of 4-nitophenol to 4-aminophenol as a model reaction, which revealed a highly catalytic efficiency and good reusable property.
