What Materials are Used to Make pH Responsive Nanoparticles?
Various materials can be used to create pH responsive nanoparticles, including: - Polymers: Poly(acrylic acid), chitosan, and poly(ethylene glycol) are commonly used polymers that exhibit pH-sensitive behavior. - Lipids: Some lipids can form vesicles that release their contents in response to pH changes. - Inorganic Materials: Materials like mesoporous silica or calcium phosphate can also be engineered to be pH responsive.
