Tunable redox-responsive hybrid nanogated ensembles.
A new redox-responsive hybrid nanogated ensemble has been developed by introducing the disulfide-linked polymeric network at the outlet of mesoporous silica. The cross-linked polymer works as gatekeeper to control molecule release from mesoporous silica. The presence of disulfide reducing agent can effectively open the polymeric network and release the loading in a tunable manner.
