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 (viz., surface property change and guest encapsulation stability) from two different stimuli (viz., pH and redox variations). The components of the nanogel and the polyelectrolyte have been conveniently achieved from a simple homopolymer, poly(pentafluorophenylacrylate).
