Polymeric hollow spheres with sizes ranging from the nanometer to the micrometer scale are particularly functional materials owing to their potential application as drug delivery system. In order to control the encapsulation and releasing of drug molecules from the interiors under physiological conditions, smart hollow spheres, which are sensitive to temperature have been reported. In this study we aimed to integrate both high loading efficiency and controlled drug release into a hybrid composite material composed of thermoresponsive copolymer hollow microspheres poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-styrene) (PNIPAAm-co-PS ) and outer graphene oxide layer. The diffusion-driven drug release is controlled by the electrostatically deposited layer of GO nanosheets, which effectively suppresses the initial burst release and enables sustained drug release in in vitro testing.
