We prepare stable conducting core‐shell particles using spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB) as microreactor‐templates. The polymerization of aniline is guided within the SPB shell so that no bulk polymerization proceeds up to 20% polyaniline (PANi) content in the resulting composite. The dispers...
