Novel fluorinated polysilsesquioxane hollow spheres: synthesis and application in drug release.
Fluorinated polysilsesquioxane (FPSQ) hollow spheres with a large empty interior were synthesized in an aqueous medium by using (trifluoropropyl)trimethoxysilane as the sole precursor. The drug release applications of these spheres were demonstrated, and the materials have great potential as fluorinated drug release carriers.
