Dual Stimuli - Dual Response Nanoassemblies Prepared from a Simple Homopolymer.

A dual stimuli responsive nanogel-polyelectrolyte complex based on electrostatic coating has been developed. The nanoassembly is designed to elicit two disparate responses ( surface property change and guest encapsulation stability) from two different stimuli ( pH and redox variations). The components of the nanogel and the polyelectrolyte have been conveniently achieved from a simple homopolymer, poly(pentafluorophenylacrylate).
