  • Patent number: 9700620
    Abstract: Near infrared radiation at a wavelength that induces resonance in water is used to remotely activate thermal plasticization of polymeric particles to trigger the release of encapsulated molecules from the particles. Nanocarriers formed from biocompatible hydrophilic polymers may be used to deliver encapsulated molecules to tissue with a reversible transition that allows repeated activations for extended release of the payload.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2017
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
