Characterization of AuNCs-PM and DOX/AuNCs-PM.

Notes: (A) TEM images of the AuNCs-PM. A magnified TEM picture of the AuNCs-PM is shown in the inset. (B) UV–Vis absorption spectra of AuNCs and AuNCs-PM. (C) Mean hydrodynamic diameters of AuNCs and AuNCs-PM plotted as a solution temperature function. (D) UV–Vis absorption spectra of AuNCs, DOX solution, AuNCs-PM and DOX/AuNCs-PM.

Abbreviations: AuNCs, gold nanocages; AuNCs-PM, PM-grafted AuNCs; DOX, doxorubicin; DOX/AuNCs-PM, DOX-loaded and PM-grafted AuNCs; DOX/AuNCs-PM-HA, DOX-loaded, PM-grafted and HA-modified AuNCs; HA, hyaluronic acid; PM, copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide and acrylamide; TEM, transmission electron microscopy; UV–Vis, ultraviolet–visible.
