We present novel intelligent colloidal polymer/silica nanocomposites, in which the complexation of cationic silica nanoparticles and a weak anionic polyelectrolyte can be manipulated simply by pH change through a hydrogen-bonding interaction and ionic complexation caused by hydrogen-transfer interactions between the constituents. Special silica particles which have nanometer size (diameter 3.0 nm) and two independent proton-accepting sites were developed in this study. Both the silica and poly(acrylic acid) form transparent colloidal solutions in water, while a white turbid dispersion was obtained just after mixing the two solutions due to the complexation. The pH-induced association-dissociation behavior was confirmed by the turbidity and potentiometric titration measurements. The assembled structures of the hybrids were visualized by scanning force microscopy.
