A new concept for smart drug delivery: adhesion induced nanovector implosion.
In this paper we show that controlling adhesion in highly flexible nanovectors can help in smartly delivering the drug. The high flexibility of the nanovector is used to smartly deliver the drug only at the target site by the new concept of "adhesion induced nanovector implosion"; a liquid drop analogy is developed for the calculations.
