Preparation of SCNPs and stimuli-responsive drug release. a TEM image of SCNPs. b DLS results and c zeta potential of the NPs formed from PDI-PCL-b-PEG-RGD⊃β-CD-NH2 and SCNPs. d The photothermal curves of pure water and SCNPs at different concentrations under 671 nm laser irradiation at a power density of 0.5 W cm−2. e The photothermal curves of SCNPs (0.250 mg mL−1) under 671 nm laser irradiation at different power densities. f The changes in absorbance intensity, g photographs, and h thermal curves of SCNPs and ICG after five cycles of irradiation, respectively. The test laser wavelengths of SCNPs and ICG were 671 and 780 nm, respectively, with a power density of 0.5 W cm−2. i Controlled release profiles of SCNPs@PTX and NPs@PTX under different conditions.
