  text: 'Self-assembly of nanoparticles can be mediated by polymers, but has so far
    led almost exclusively to nanoparticle aggregates that are amorphous. Here, we
    employed Coulombic interactions to generate a range of composite materials from
    mixtures of charged nanoparticles and oppositely charged polymers. The assembly
    behavior of these nanoparticle/polymer composites depends on their order of addition:
    polymers added to nanoparticles give rise to stable aggregates, but nanoparticles
    added to polymers disassemble the initially formed aggregates. The amorphous aggregates
    were transformed into crystalline ones by transiently increasing the ionic strength
    of the solution. The morphology of the resulting crystals depended on the length
    of the polymer: short polymer chains mediated the self-assembly of nanoparticles
    into strongly faceted crystals, whereas long chains led to pseudospherical nanoparticle/polymer
    assemblies, within which the crystalline order of nanoparticles was retained.'
