Abstract
A bicontrollable drug release system was developed by layer-by-layer assembly of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)/sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) multilayers onto a Fe 3O 4/SiO 2 composite core. The saturated magnetization of this system reaches up to 38.6 emu/g at RT, making targeting easily controlled by an external magnetic field. Meanwhile, the packing of the polyelectrolyte multilayers is sensitive to pH values, generating a pH-switch on-off mode for the release of loaded drugs. In this specific case, the release of a chemotherapeutic polyoxometalate K 7Ti 2W 10PO 40·6H 2O (PM–19) was tested. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to examine the nanostructure of the composite drug release system. UV–vis absorption was used to monitor the drug release. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Powder X–ray diffraction, and Elemental analyses were used to study the composition of tested systems. The structure and composition of the composite system was also studied using magnetism measurement and nitrogen adsorption–desorption.
