The incorporation of Au nanoparticles to polystyrene‐b‐quaternized poly(2‐vinylpyridine) (SQVP) micelles and their interaction with DNA in aqueous solutions is investigated. Micelles of a well‐defined single population in solution keep their size while AuNPs appear to bind near their core, as observed by static and dynamic light scattering. The apparent molecular weight increases as a function of Au concentration, which proves controllable NP loading. Au‐loaded SQVP micelles create complexes with DNA where the micelles still preserve their morphology and size. The fluorescence intensity from SQVP‐Au aggregates drops as Au accumulates on the micelles. The fluorescence spectrum remains practically unaffected by the addition of DNA. SQVP micelles offer a stable and well‐defined template for the formulation of drug and DNA nanocarriers as hierarchically self‐assembled hybrid nanostructured functional materials. image
