A rocket-like encapsulation and delivery system with two-stage booster layers : pH-responsive poly(methacrylic acid)/poly(ethylene glycol) complex-coated hollow silica vesicles

Rocket-like vesicles formed are composed of poly(acrylic aicd) (PMAA )/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) complex coated hollow silica spheres, and the structure and composition of the vesicles are characterized using TGA, 1H NMR, FTIR, and TEM. Although only one-third of EG units of PEG brushes grafted to...
