An exposure of the periodic array of the adsorbed Polysterene-poly4-vinylpyridine block copolymer micelles into acid water leads to the formation of the polymeric nanorings which can be selectively filled with the Prussian blue nanoparticles. The deposition is driven by a favored electrostatic interactions between partially protonated positively charged P4VP and negatively charged Prussian blue nanoparticles.
