Dual-responsive multicompartment nanofibers for controlled release of payloads†
Abstract
Materials capable of controlling the release of functional agents are promising for drug delivery and corrosion protection. A dual-responsive multicompartment nanostructure is designed by embedding redox-responsive nanocapsules in pH-responsive nanofibers by colloid-electrospinning. This combination allows an enhanced control over the release of payloads directed by properties of nanocontainers and nanofibers.
