Abstract

We report the encapsulation of negatively charged Au nanoparticles and anionic fluorescent (FL) dye in the inner cavity of redox-active cationic polymer nanotubes with viologen via electrostatic interaction and the release of the FL dye from the FL dye confined in the cavity of the polymer nanotubes by electrochemical and chemical reduction.
