Abstract
A unique method is developed for the controlled release of the hydrophobic polymer chains from the core of the shell crosslinked nanoparticles (SCKs) by selective cleavage of labile C-ON bonds present at the core-shell interf ace; this represents a methodology to probe the permeability of nanoscopic membranes and a means for applications in the controlled release of macromo lecular species.
