Patent Images
1. A nano-construct comprising:
- (a) a core material comprising a polymer,(b) a nanoshell formed on the core material, and(c) a bioactive agent,wherein the polymer is a degradable polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyester, poly(ester amide), polyether, polyanhydride, polyorthoester or a non-degradable polymer selected from the group consisting of poly(N-(3-aminopropyl)methacrylamide), a copolymer of N-(3-aminopropyl)methacrylamide, and a combination of these, andwherein the nanoshell comprises a metal having a thickness from about 5 nm to about 50 nm selected from the group consisting of gold, iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium, tungsten, alloys based on these metals, and combinations thereof.
