Abstract: In this study, a convenient approach has been proposed for the preparation of magnetic poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-poly (acrylic acid) (PNIPAm-PAA) hybrid nanospheres. In the first step, hollow PNIPAm-PAA nanocapules, of which the diameter was about 500 nm, were synthesized by precipitation polymerization with hydropropylcellulose-poly (acrylic acid) (HPC-PAA) particles as the template. In the second step, the electrostatic interaction self-assembly method and the in situ reduction method were adopted to generate the magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles inside the nanocpsules. Thus the magnetic Fe3O4/PNIPAm-PAA hybrid nanospheres were finally obtained and the average diameter was 400 nm. In addition, a high drug loading capacity and a sustained-release behavior were presented by using anti-cancer drug Doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox) as a hydrophilic model drug. It indicated that the Fe3O4/PNIPAm-PAA hybrid nanospheres might be used as a new magnetic-targeted drug carrier for the drug delivery system.
