Abstract

Fluorescent silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were embedded in the bilayer of liposomes and acted as a photothermic switch for photoinduced drug release. AgNPs in the liposome could absorb light energy, convert optical energy into localized heat, induce phase transition of liposome and release drug. The drug released from the AgNPs–liposome could be controlled by the irradiation time and AgNPs concentration.
