Towards nanoparticles with site-specific degradability by ring-opening copolymerization induced self-assembly in organic medium
Chen Zhu, Julien Nicolas
Abstract
Radical ring-opening copolymerization-induced self-assembly (rROPISA) was successfully applied to the synthesis of core-, surface- or surface plus core-degradable nanoparticles in heptane, leading to site-specific degradability by rROPISA.
