Core-corona inversion of micelles of diblock copolymer poly(acrylic acid)-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PAA-b-PNIPAM), has been successfully realized by switching either pH or temperature. The strong interaction of doxorubicin with the PAA block and the pH-sensitive drug release from the polymer make the system very useful as a controlled drug delivery system. The encapsulation of hydrophobic Nile Red molecules above the lower critical solution temperature of PNIPAM suggests that this polymer may be useful for removing hydrophobic pollutants.
