Triple stimuli-responsive crosslinked polymeric nanoparticles for controlled release†
Abstract
Triple stimuli-responsive nanogels are prepared by crosslinking the self-assemblies of pH-, temperature- and photo-sensitive amphiphilic copolymers. The increased stability by crosslinking and the synergistic responsiveness by combination of the stimuli endow the nanoparticles with great potential as new nanocontainers for controlled cargo release.
