It is not our intention to review the vast field of block copolymer micelles and their nanotechnological applications. There are several relevant reviews for the interested reader [49,65], We mention only the versatility of these systems as model soft colloids and the various aspects that need careful consideration for designing appropriate systems. 

This chapter illustrates our approaches in the design of metal nanocomposites, both in bulk and in solution. The key advantages of soluble systems, especially if they retain solubility alter nanoparticle formation, are their potential use for raicroheterogeneous catalysis and magnetic liquids or formation of thin deposited or free-standing films (the latter were obtained with block copolymer micelles and some functional polysilsesquioxane colloids). These opportunities...
