Abstract

Abstract : A novel method for switch-controlled drug release was developed through reversible morphology transitions from vesicles to nanoparticles based on supramolecular branched copolymer self-assemblies. Abstract : A novel method for switch-controlled drug release was developed through the reversible morphology transitions of supramolecular branched copolymer self-assemblies. The reversible transitions from vesicles to nanoparticles were successfully achieved by alternating UV and visible light irradiation to obtain morphology-controlled drug release in a switch mode.
