Synthesis and characterisation of silica-polymer hybrid core-shell and hollow spheres for drug delivery applications

Silica-polymer hybrid core-shell structures and nano-hollow spheres with chemically immobilized hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and thermal sensitive functional groups on the surfaces were prepared through a simple synthetic approach for possible applications as a drug carrier. Both the core–shell and hol...
