Environmental Responsiveness - Polybasic nanomatrices will ionize and swell in water at low pH. The influx of water increases the gel mesh size (ξ), allowing additional compounds to be loaded into the matrix. If the dielectric constant of the solvent (ε) is reduced, the gel will collapse into an ionomer.
