Abstract:
The surfaces of biodegradable peptide nanospheres with density-controllable poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) brush layers were amenable to high levels of control, from hydrophilic 'stealth' properties to hydrophobic adsorptive properties depending on the PEG density in response to environmental conditions -'intelligent' properties that are expected to be useful for novel drug delivery systems.
