Keywords: Light responsive PISA Amphiphilic block copolymer Nanoparticles Self-immolation
When exposed to radiation, photo-responsive block copolymer nanoparticles disassemble to liberate a possible carried guest. However, the particle disruption is rarely accompanied by a polymer chain disintegration into molecular fragments, that would facilitate clearance from the body. (249 characters)
