The emergence of stimuli-responsive drug carriers has opened the door to a new generation of anti-cancer drug delivery systems that are more intelligent and more effective than those conventional ones. [1–6] Certain malignancies can cause two stimuli around tumor site at the same time. One is a slight local temperature increase [7] and the other is a minor decrease in extracellular pH (6.8–7.2). [8] Thus, properly designed nanocarriers that are dual-responsive to both temperature and pH may be able to intelligently distinguish between normal and pathological tissues, achieving better targeting efficiency and treatment efficacy. Indeed, efforts for the preparation of dual-responsive drug carriers have been made for some time. Kim’s group did some pioneering work on the temperature and pH dual-responsive polymeric delivery system for targeted oral delivery of insulin. [9] Recently, dual-responsive systems are gradually being extended to anti-cancer drug delivery. For example, Soppimath et al. prepared pH-triggered thermo responsive nanoparticles made of terpo-lymer P( N -isopropylacrylamide- co - N , N -dimethylarylamide- co -10-undecenoic acid) (P(NIPAAm-co -DMAAm- co -UA)). [2] They found that weak acidic environment (pH6.6) could cause nanoparticle aggregation at body temperature and trigger the release of the loaded anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Unfortunately, the drug loading capacity was quite low (2.7%), which limits their practical usefulness. Kang et al. fabricated DOX-loaded thermo and pH responsive nanoparticles based on copolymers of NIPAAm, DMAAm and a pH sensitive telomer sulfamethoxypyridazine. [3
