A photo-, acid- and thermo-responsive nitrobenzene-based amphiphilic copolymer was synthesized and the corresponding multi-responsive behavior of the copolymer assemblies was revealed by TEM, DLS and AFM. The morphological changes of the assemblies under multi-stimuli endowed them with a controlled release of encapsulated molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
