Drug delivery has been considered as the key to the clinical success of numerous drugs.[1–3] In the past decade, with an aim to improve chemotherapy, tremendous effort has been directed to the development of polymer nanoparticles for the controlled delivery of anticancer drugs, including doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX).[4–12] These nanovehicles offer several unique features, such as enhancing the aqueous solubility and bioavailability of the drug, prolonging the circulation time, preferential accumulation at the tumor sites by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, and reducing systemic side effects.[13, 14] However, one practical challenge with nanoparticles is their low stability invivo because of the large dilution volume and/or interactions with cells and biomolecules present in the blood, which often lead to premature drug release, aggregation, and a diminished ability of the drug to reach its target.[15] In the past few years, different cross-linking approaches have been adopted to improve their stability,[16, 17] for example, through cross-linking of the hydrophilic shell,[18] within the hydrophobic core,[19–21] or at the core–shell interface.[22] It should be noted, on the other hand, that overly stable nanoparticles are also far from optimal for drug-delivery applications, because drug efficacy is significantly reduced by the prohibited release of drugs from the nanoparticles even though they reach the target sites.[23, 24] Last but not least, few of the cross-linked nanoparticles so far reported are biocompatible and degradable,[19, 20] which are nevertheless fundamental prerequisites for biomedical applications.There exists a large difference in the redox potential between the mildly oxidizing extracellular milieu and the reducing intracellular fluids, such as the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus,[25] which renders reduction-sensitive polymers particularly appealing for biomedical applications.[26] For example, reduction-sensitive polymer/DNA complexes,[27] polyion complex micelles,[28, 29] micelles,[30] polymersomes,[31] cross-linked polymersomes,[32] and degradable nanogels [33, 34] have been reported to achieve fast intracellular release of DNA, siRNA, or drugs.
