Figure 2.

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of functionalized monomers lead to the incorporation of (i) (PTX) containing the UV-cleavable linker (red), (ii) MMP-responsive peptide (blue) and (iii) NIR Cy5.5 fluorescent dye (green). Polymerizations were terminated via the addition of (iv) ethyl vinyl ether
