title: Responsive polymer-coated mesoporous silica as a pH-sensitive nanocarrier for controlled release.
abstract: pH-responsive polymer poly(4-vinyl pyridine) is coated on mesoporous silica through the facile "grafting to" method. The grafted polymer nanoshell can work as a pH-sensitive barrier to control the release of trapped molecules from mesoporous silica.
