Degradable hollow spheres based on self-assembly inclusion

Xian-Wei Meng, Jie Qin, Yan Liu, Min-Min Fan, Bang-Jing Li, Sheng Zhang and Xiao-Qi Yu


Degradable hollow nanospheres are prepared by self-assembly of rod-coil Alg-g-PEG/-CD (Alginate-g-Poly(ethylene glycol)/-Cyclodextrin) complexes in water, in which the rod-like segments were formed by inclusion between -CDs and grafted PEG chains and the coil-like segments were protonated alginate backbones.
