Nanodesigned magnetic polymer containers for dual stimuli actuated drug controlled release and magnetic hyperthermia mediation

Abstract

Novel magnetic, pH and redox sensitive microcontainers have been prepared using a sacrificial template-directed synthesis procedure, followed by chemical deposition of magnetic nanocrystals via co-precipitation. The fabricated magnetic microcontainers exert operative pH responsiveness, gradual and controlled collapse, once met with highly reducing environment, and efficient magnetic response.
