Triggered Release from Thermoresponsive Polymersomes with Superparamagnetic Membranes

Triggered Release from Thermoresponsive Polymersomes with Superparamagnetic Membranes

Magnetic polymersomes were prepared by self-assembly of the amphiphilic block copolymer poly(isoprene-b-N-isopropylacrylamide) with monodisperse hydrophobic superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION). The specifically designed thermoresponsive block copolymer allowed for efficient incorporat...
