Abstract

A cationic lipid-embedded poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) gel layer coated on chitosan/superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) nanohybrid surfaces effectively modulates drug release and MR imaging contrast by pH-responsive morphological transformation and hierarchical alignment of the lipid assemblies. © 2014 the Partner Organisations.
