Herein, we describe a facile method to prepare a colorless functional polydopamine (PDA) thin layer by the in situ oxidative copolymerization of dopamine (DA) and ATRP initiator-bearing DA (DA-BiBB) onto polystyrene (PSt) core particles: PSt@PDA/BiBB2. Surface-initiated ATRP of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was performed on PSt@PDA/BiBB2 particles, followed by the removal of the template particles, which generated PHEMA capsules that were based on a colorless PDA thin layer and have tailored hollow core sizes and capsule wall thicknesses. The PDA thin layer is used as a basis for polymer brushes. The present method does not require cross-linking the polymer brushes. Furthermore, subsequent preparation of functional PHEMA capsules by post-functionalization of hydroxy groups of PHEMA chains was successful.
