title: Degradable hollow spheres based on self-assembly inclusion.
abstract: Degradable hollow nanospheres are prepared by self-assembly of rod-coil Alg-g-PEG/alpha-CD (Alginate-g-Poly(ethylene glycol)/alpha-Cyclodextrin) complexes in water, in which the rod-like segments were formed by inclusion between alpha-CDs and grafted PEG chains and the coil-like segments were protonated alginate backbones.
