Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Materials Science Materials Science, Multidisciplinary Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Applied Science & Technology Science & Technology - Other Topics Technology
We report a multifunctional micromotor fabricated by the self-assembly technique using multifunctional materials, i.e. polymer single crystals and nanoparticles, as basic building blocks. Not only can this micromotor achieve autonomous and directed movement, it also possesses unprecedented functions, including enzymatic degradation-induced micromotor disassembly, sustained release and molecular detection.
