Low power upconverted near-IR light for efficient polymeric nanoparticle degradation and cargo release.

ABSTRACT: By encapsulating NaYF4 :Tm.Yb upconverting nanocrystals in UV-degradable polymer capsules, it is possible to access efficient polymer photodegradation and remotely controlled release using near-IR laser light at an unprecedentedly low power.
