Photoswitchable Particles for On-Demand Degradation and Triggered Release
2013
On-demand degradable polymer particles are fabricated via electrospraying of a solution of acetal-protected dextran that further includes 2-(4-methoxystyryl)-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine as a photoacid generator. The illumination of UV light gives rise to photoacid and activates the catalytic deprotection of hydroxyl groups of dextran, leading to controlled dissolution of the microparticles in water.
