A method to construct synchronous delivery systems via direct self-assembly of Au nanoparticles on the poly[(N-isopropylacrylamide-r-acrylamide)-b-L-lactic acid] (PNAL) nanospheres has been presented in this paper. To achieve amphiphilic diblock terpolymer, hydrophobic poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) block was added to poly(N-isopropylacrylamide- r-acrylamide) (PNA) block via Michel-type addition reaction. Lower critical solubility temperature (LCST) was modulated at 35.6 °C which is close to the body temperature, but higher than poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) homopolymer by controlling the ratio between isopropylacrylamide (IPAAm) monomers and acrylamide (AAm) monomers. Using this amphiphilic diblock terpolymer, PNAL nanospheres were fabricated by emulsion/evaporation technique followed by direct self-assembly of Au nanoparticles on the PNAL nanospheres due to the high affinity of amino groups donated from PNA block. The ‘core’ site of Au@PNAL nanospheres can load various lyphophilic drugs. Moreover, Au nanoparticles in the ‘shell’ domain of PNAL nanospheres give optimal environment to conjugate various biomolecules. Therefore, it is expected that Au@PNAL hybrid nanospheres can be utilized in synchronous delivery of both biomolecules in the ‘shell’ domain and various therapeutic drugs in the ‘core’ domain.
