Nanocarriers Nanoparticles for transport and delivery of active components
These delivery particles are characterised by an innovative architecture with a dendritic core and a multilayer shell. Due to their uni-molecular structure the nanocarriers are much more stable than micelles which have been widely discussed for nano-transportation so far. The multilayer design allows the specific adjustment of the carrier to the loaded substances. The shell is tied to the core by molecular linkers and shields the encapsulated molecules. The linkers are accessible to changes of the micro-environment, so that selective targeting is possible. The nanocarriers are stable in a neutral environment, for example, while they degrade when being exposed to an acidic pH-value.
