Abstract

A new strategy to prepare NIR light-responsive Poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) drug delivery systems via carbon quantum dots-stabilized Pickering emulsion polymerization was developed. We successfully fabricated oil-in-water single emulsion and water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion for loading hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs, respectively.
