Near-Infrared Light-Triggered Dissociation of Block Copolymer Micelles Using Upconverting Nanoparticles
Abstract
We demonstrate a novel strategy enabling the use of a continuous-wave diode near-infrared (NIR) laser to disrupt block copolymer (BCP) micelles and trigger the release of their "payloads". By encapsulating NaYF(4):TmYb upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) inside micelles of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl methacrylate) and exposing the micellar solution to 980 nm light, photons in the UV region are emitted by the UCNPs, which in turn are absorbed by o-nitrobenzyl groups on the micelle core-forming block, activating the photocleavage reaction and leading to the dissociation of BCP micelles and release of co-loaded hydrophobic species. Our strategy of using UCNPs as an internal UV or visible light source upon NIR light excitation represents a general and efficient method to circumvent the need for UV or visible light excitation that is a common drawback for light-responsive polymeric systems developed for potential biomedical applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
